It's a very cheap buy for the IPs, but these studios do not make any money. They spent Naughty Dog money to just barely break even. Last Tomb Raider made 8m in profit on a 125m+ budget.

I don't know what you could really to make them profitable without laying off half the studio.

This. It may sound cheap if you didn't know the numbers. But those franchises were doing nothing for them. And I believe Square were pretty hands off. So buying these studios, you are inheriting the same problems.
