Microsoft and EA shaking hands over their shared passion for acquiring beloved game studios, milking them for a few titles, and then shutting them down like it's some kind of competitive sport. It's basically corporate speed-running but instead of finishing games fast, they're finishing entire development teams.

Microsoft's been on a shopping spree lately with Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard, so we're all just waiting to see which studio gets the axe next. Nothing says "we value creativity" quite like turning passionate developers into quarterly earnings reports and then pretending they never existed.
