That's actually crazy.

For reference, Split Fiction's development cost was ~$40 million USD over ~3-4 years, ~75 devs. That's one of EA's better games, and not cheap.

Yearly, $77 million could basically fund Battlefied development (with BF6 rumored to cost $400 million, maybe?).

It's 11% of what they're looking to cut!

Even if the rationale for the bonus is "Andrew Wilson put Battlefield back on track," that's still a good chunk out of the profits of ~500M of BF6 game sales so far.

It's 1% of EA's entire yearly revenue they last reported, $7.84B.
