    Yeah, you’re right about that, my bad.

    I was thinking more in terms of the core tech teams - there’s a decent EA presence here as well.

      Yeah it’s unfortunate they don’t have more core development in Vancouver. For instance, a major part of the Chrome team (and previously Stadia) was in Montreal. Microsoft should have been doing something similar in Vancouver (esp. considering the time zone too).
