The two founders of mobile publisher Chillingo have left both the studio and EA, becoming the third lot of studio heads to depart the mega-publisher within a week.
MCV reports that both Chris Byatte and Joe Wee are no longer with Chillingo or EA, though no reason has been announced for their departure.
The duo established Chillingo way back in 2005. Since then, they've helped launch several massive mobile franchises including the original Angry Birds and Cut The Rope.
Chillingo was acquired by EA in 2010 for around $20 million, with Byatte and Wee helping to oversee the deal and continuing on as the studio's director and general manager.
