Brings me back to when EA was buying up companies just to milk them until there's nothing left to give and then close the studios. It's okay though. It's not like these companies had employees with bills to pay, livelihoods, families, bills again, etc. it's not like there are actually people behind the games we play that are struggling just as much as we are. That would be madness!

it's not like there were awesome game series which came to exist as a passion projects that are being discontinued because people don't like the latest titles because they were lazy cash crabs...
