Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment is now an EA studio: Electronic Arts announced today that it has reached an agreement to acquire the company for $315 million, plus "additional variable cash consideration that is contingent upon achievement of certain performance milestones, relating to the development of future titles, through the end of calendar 2022," that could add up to another $140 million.

Even that $315m is not all cash, so it's an even better deal than reported. Fully believe EA sent Titanfall 2 to die to devalue Respawn for acquisition.

This seems to be the way gaming studios work. These smaller studios release a new ip that hits big. They get a little too big to be able to afford their talent and continue to make great games. EA or a big publisher buys them up. Then the guys who started the smaller studio leave to start a new studio. Rinse and repeat.

That studio will be dead within a decade.

EA will meddle with all their projects, they'll go to shite, and then be liquidated.
