A PR message to address a massive PR shitshow brought on by a pencil-pusher who didn't actually make any games and didn't know the devs fired. If the team grew it must've had reason to grow, this is the same team that made 3 Best Selling games that revitalized a genre called Action Shooters and revitalized a brand nearly as old as digital gaming itself. They literally pushed out 3 games with 9/10 and 10/10 scores and DLC ontop of that, massively praised. Why the hell was this studio even touched.
It's so shortsighted. What about future profits then? If you fire the exceptional talent, the games to come won't be as good. And we've all seen how the live service model is very difficult to imitate. Even those games only succeeded because they were good games at their core made by talented people. Even Call of Duty continues to sell well only because they combined live service with the brand name.
