Update

Redfall just released a patch to give a 60fps option if thats something you were waiting on.

PS Naughty Dog has announced its next game is.......  The last of us 2 remastered..

In regard to EA/Bioware QA folks.  This wasn't new.  It was announced with the other layoffs that the QA staff had unionized and were negotiating with Bioware on a new contract.  With the layoffs of long time staff Bioware announced at the time that they would not be renewing the QA staffs contract.  The recent update was essentially associated with the unionized QA staffs original contract running out.  So while the long time employees were laid off immediately the QA staff worked till the end of the previously negotiated contract which was up at the end of September and which is what all of the recent news (and misinformation about "new" layoffs) was about.
