Well that's fucken derpressing, I hope whatever they release next strikes gold so they can live and make more games. Thanks to EA Titanfall 2 was sent out to die and that's a dam shame. The amount of support they have given Titanfall 2 for free since its release has been amazing. So also sadly I don't expect that with any other game they release going forward.Includes all cash, equity and performance milestone payments.
According to Kotaku's sources, EA outbid the South Korean publisher Nexon, which currently publishes the Titanfall mobile game. EA had 30 days to match Nexon's offer which they ultimately did and the staff at Respawn were notified of the acquisition in a meeting earlier today.
Respawn was an independent studio based in Los Angeles until today but it looks as though everything that they're currently developing is still going ahead as planned such as the Star Wars action game, which EA had contracted Respawn to make earlier this year.
This news comes not too long after EA had decided to shut down Visceral Games with the publisher wanting to focus its future titles on a system similar to games like Destiny 2. What're your thoughts on EA's acquisition of the Titanfall developer?
Such a dam shame.
