However, this was until the start of 2018 when it had about 700 employees in the workforce. Ever since then the numbers have been gradually dropping as sources have it that about 40 employees have quit their jobs at DICE and many more are to follow.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46531\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dozens Of DICE Employees Have Quit \" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dozens Of DICE Employees Have Quit \" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/noscript> Star Wars Battlefront 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>People inside the company have said that some of the employees who have left had been working for DICE for upwards of 10 years.

However, A Swedish <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/digital.di.se\/artikel\/dussintals-anstallda-lamnar-spelbolaget-dice\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a> has stated the failure of Star Wars Battlefront 2 launch as a primary cause for employees quitting. Moreover, another major reason according to the source is the emergence of new gaming companies which have increased the competition for employees.<\/p>\n<p>According to the source,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Both Epic Games [Fortnite] and Ubisoft have recently opened offices in Stockholm. [Previously established companies] King and Paradox Interactive are also growing in size.\u00a0These four companies are the primary organizations who are recruiting staff from Dice. [&#8230;] At least 13 employees have left Dice to work [for Ubisoft&#8217;s new studio, started by former Dice-boss Patrick Bach].
