Video Game Studio Acquisitions: Surrendering independence for a big pile of money

I think you missed one part of it from the owners perspective... They get a massive payday, rest and vest and then they can start a new studio or focus on other aspects of their life

It is curious to see how these studies got absorbed and destroyed, every time, and still smaller developers let themselves be tempted. More money than sense. :(

It's mad isn't it, such a common pattern too. 1) Release a great game or two. 2) Get bought. 3) Churn out sequels until everyone gets bored of them. 4) Get closed by parent.
