Burnout studio Criterion down to just 17 people

Developer Criterion is down to a minimal crew because it chose not to work on anymore Need For Speed titles for Electronic Arts.

Criterion released Need For Speed: Most Wanted in 2012, but the studio decided to relinquish control of the series in favor of working on something new. In response, much of the team that worked at Criterion moved to Ghost Games in the U.K., which is now working on Need For Speed: Rivals for PC as well as current- and next-gen consoles
