Marcus is not sure that he will ever return to the industry.
Halo creator Marcus Lehto, who left Electronic Arts and his studio Ridgeline Games, commented dismissal. According to Marcus, he left Electronic Arts on his own, and was not fired.

Yes, I left Electronic Arts of my own free will. It was a very difficult decision. I wish the Electronic Arts teams all the best.
