Wow it’s almost like buying up half the gaming industry and then producing literally nothing wasn’t a great idea.

broader cost cutting

They're just stripping everything down to save money, as every company that ever buys another company does.

This was entirely predictable (plus, they purchase IP, not people).

Shutting down entire studios should not be a part of normal cost saving.

Agreed, but it certainly seems to be.
