They're selling their studio AGAIN...but holy crap, has it really been 7.5 years already?!? You'd think that after such a long period working with/for EA, the boundaries between the two (publisher/studio not Vince/Jason) must have faded a bit anyway.

I came here to say the exact same words 😀

Great minds think alike 😀

It sucks that gaming is just big business now. I remember when games were actually creative and fun. Now all these companies do is look at the bottom line. So many great companies are gone or moved onto games that are just a cash grab. Command and Conquer..Gone. Battlezone... Gone. So many good games are not being made because of corporate greed. It would be nice if Raven made another heretic or hexen game off ID tech 6.. Look at the overwhelming popularity of the new Doom and Wolfenstein.. I mean, why not make one of those heretic/hexen games

Yup but the thing is for every d*ckish triple aye publisher acting like a massive dong their is 10 indies who are happy to step in and not only fill the quality and customer service aspect left behind they are also willing to try their hands at titles and game concepts that the big publishers believe are no longer money makers and the sad reality for the Triple Aye publishers is that it is starting to have an effect, I've spent more time this year playing early access indie games than I have Triple Aye titles.

All that press release positivity is a bunch of BS ! Spare me the over the top fake positivity lmao This was a cash grab plain and simple. Next we will see that they have decided to "move on" followed by them starting a new company. Execs at EA will all get fat bonuses and pats on the back for their " business sense", and Respawn will no longer exist at all after TF 3 fails and they dont understand why with its microtransactions etc haha Seen it a million times!

They did take 4 years to release their first game. Which, on one hand, i applaud them for taking their time, on the other hand, they didn't create a new engine (source), but they did modify it a bit....not sure that warranted 4 years.

EJocys:

Yep, EA managers have just enough skills to sucks victims blood until it dies. They have no choice not to buy, because core of the company is rotten and would drop in value otherwise. It's like royalty title give away scam to famous and successful people, which in the essence required to keep their own titles worth something by the association.

...We’re working with a heavily modified version of the Source engine...

"source"

isnt it amazing how many people think samething, every time EA "aquires" a new studio. so many great studios have become pale shadows of them selves after EA got there hands on them
