During his time with the Swedish studio Goldfarb contributed to a number of high profile projects, as lead designer and lead writer on Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and working on Mirror's Edge.

"5 years, 4 games. Grateful to have worked with such awesome people on awesome games. Farewell + onward," he added on Twitter.
