Opinion: EA will eventually shut down Respawn Entertainment

EA is going to shut Respawn down. They aren’t going to shut them down any time soon. It might be several years, maybe even a decade or so, before Respawn gets the axe, but sooner or later, Respawn will be shut down.

Most probably. I'm interested to see how long Zambela (spelled wrong I know) will hang around with all them money hungry suits looming over his head 24/7 and who is he taking with him when he leaves.

Now will he retire and spend his recent Payday or create another studio and get aquired by Ubisoft this time around?

Nesflix3102d ago

Vince Zampella and I agree with you. I feel like this is a cash out for Vince. He's been doing this a LONG time and it feels like he's just about ready to hang up his cape. I really don't want to believe Vince walked into this without giving thought to what happened to him and Jason West with Activision and Infinity Ward.

dont forget he started with ea as publisher working on medal of honor. Call of Duty is basically activisions medal of honor without the name.

That’s not an opinion........it’s a fact lol

Yodagamer3103d ago

They don't exactly have a great track record and the studios they have kept open aren't as good as they were before the purchase. Bioware, criterion, and Dice LA (the old medal of honor studio) say hello

The_KELRaTH3102d ago

Dice would have gone if it wasnt for buying the team and grabbing the IP for BF Desert Combat

Yodagamer3102d ago

The dice la team is the name for the team that used to do all the medal of Honor games back in the day. After the last moh ea restructured the team and they started making battlefield dlc.

The_KELRaTH3101d ago

Desert Combat was a hugely successful mod for BF1942 by Trauma Studios. Dice bought Trauma and the IP which was used for BF2
BF2 launches and Trauma is closed down

UCForce3103d ago

Just like others who have fallen by EA control. Sooner or later, EA will shut down Respawn eventually.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
