The developer went on to further elaborate on Hazelight’s experience working with the publisher, describing the collaboration as “super good” and “great,” while acknowledging that EA, like any other publisher, has made mistakes. “For us, it’s a super good collaboration,” he said, adding, “But we have a great relationship. I’m not saying that they haven’t done any mistakes like every other publisher.”
He also spoke about the people he works with at EA, highlighting their passion for games rather than an exclusively corporate approach: “All the people I am surrounded with at EA are gamers. They love games. It’s not like I’m sitting with corporate people with suits.”
Hazelight’s latest project, Split Fiction, was released in March 2025 and had a successful launch, selling two million copies in its first week. In an earlier interview, Josef Fares also spoke positively about EA, calling the publisher a “supporter” and a “good partner.”
