Chad Greiner finally ended his words as follows:
At Respawn we have always believed that new leadership and new team members mean new ideas, new energy and innovation. This could not be a more accurate statement to describe Steven’s contributions over the years. As we move away from Respawn, I want you to know how important everyone in the studio is. All this game-making won’t work without you. It was a pleasure to watch the game and the community grow.

Jason McCord, another name who left the Apex Legends team, also made statements on the subject. At this point, he said, “It’s hard to leave a game and a team you love. But it’s time to do something new. No plans yet. I’m going to take a little walk around the world and gather energy. Stay tuned!” said.

No word yet on where Grenier and McCord will go after Respawn. The roster change comes after it was announced that Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella will lead the Battlefield franchise in a big way.
