I like how people assume they bought them to make games instead of buying them to eliminate the competition.

They know, they just don't give a shit beyond short term gains.

This has been my thought every time I see a post about them shuttering studios. They're just killing competition. But for what? They aren't producing quality themselves, so just to leave the field empty?
