Press "F" to...
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/yR8Qw/ea-shuts-down-visceral-studios-also-kills-development-of-action-adventure-star-wars-game, if you want to back-reference the last thread, which included discussion about expectations toward Titanfall.

They made a promising multiplayer-only game that just randomly threw together elements from other franchises and which nobody played, and a sequel to said game which was not multiplayer only and got some praise for its good ideas and execution, but still nobody plays, because heaven forbid people play anything other than the current year's CoD, Blizzard games, and the latest fad (currently occupied by BIGLETTERSMAKEMELOOKMATURE's MicroTransactions).
With a track record like that, closing them down and reassigning the people would do them service, at least they wouldn't be known as the studio that made decent games nobody was interested in.

Never played Titanfall, but heard 2 was well made. I thought these guys were with EA for MOH then left to start COD/Infinity Ward then left to start this... why the F would they sell to EA again? Are they forgetful?

I never played TF1, but play a bit of TF2 and it was okay. But I think what happened was after the former members of Infinity war were fired for that breach of contract they went with a EA partner program to get funding for their new studio they created (which is Respawn Entertainment) and I guess I just assumed that they were already owned by EA.
But I don't think they left EA to go to Activation, then went back with EA.

So Loot boxes plague is coming to Titanfall games too!

I guess for me if Respawn gets closed down, don't think it will be that much of a loss. I wasn't that big on their Titanfall Series and Star wars is basically old news, didn't care for the EA battlefront game, so I don't think I'd care for an action adventure game either.
To think of it, I think a lot of the studios of EA that closed down haven't really affected me that much. Like for maxis I enjoyed the Sims/Simcity but the newest iterations flopped (especially simcity) and for visceral games, I never played the dead space series at all, and their battlefield game was a flop. To me those are the two studios that I can remember off the top of my head that closed or were bought out recently.

The ride never ends,does it?Just a month after Visceral Games got scalped and thrown down the evergrowing studio ditch (here's the thread about that particular crime against the industry:https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/yR8Qw/ea-shuts-down-visceral-studios-also-kills-development-of-action-adventure-star-wars-game ),EA has completely bought out Respawn Entertainment (Titanfall).

The deja vu effect is compounded by the fact that Respawn are also prepping a Star Wars game.

Of course,Respawn's Vince Zampella claims that nothing will change.

Thing is,we all know just how much of complete bull this sort of spiel is.
