As opposed to the third method, which is treating acquired studios with all the care of a parasitic wasp using a spider to incubate her young. Yes, EA, I'm looking at you and the hollowed-out husks you've made of several famous game studios. The final insult being when you turn them into "EA (insert city name) Studio " so as to remove any connection whatsoever to their heritage. Maxis, Westwood, and Origin are just are just a few names that EA wiped off the map over the last two decades.
