Non of their games sell great so I m not sure 1.2 billion was a good investment

Doesn't codemasters own slightlymad studios?
No one escapes papa ea, no one
I'm sure Take Two are just fine with Rockstar for GTA lol. what a stupid thing to say.Maybe Take-two wanted them to help build the next GTA. And EA fought to buy them to help in building their GTA-killer.
There's a lot of talent in Codemasters. If EA doesn't have a gaming studio in London, it could be their gateway to British talents.
This makes the Zenimax deal seem like a steal.
They haven't released a non-driving game for 5 years, but I reckon EA want SMS & Evo staff to developer the next NFS.That sounds like a lot for that Rally series. What else does this publisher put out?
Possible ESports potential????F1 with possible esports potential. Not to mention subscription service. EA probably have a lot of gaming racing licenses too.
EA is positioning itself as sports subscription service basically with some additional games.
But now...Add games to EA Play + GamePass
Well, yeah. I only recently learnt that it existed. Also only during COVID it has finally gained some traction.Possible ESports potential????

I really dont get this price. They only make racing games, and they almost always underperform sales wise (even though i buy most of them lol).
EA at least doesn't put paid stuff in SP modes like t2 i guessNot sure how I feel about this. The question that really needs to be asked is do we feel better with Codemasters being owned by Take two or EA?
if you asked me two years ago I might have said Take 2 but I would almost think EA is better with Zampella in charge and many of EA’s moves in the last 24 months.
It'll end up how most EA and Microsoft studios that underperformed do. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the Zenimax studios also get shut down.Fuck me, the Bethesda deal for MS was an absolute steal in comparison.
Wtf does Codemasters even make nowadays apart from coma-inducing Rally games?
Anyway, EA, we all know how it'll end it up....
Codemasters had a fulltime yearly revenue 76 million british pounds and an operating profit of 16mio pounds.I am tired of watching comments like “how are they worth 1,2 b! Its a waste of money” etc.
That studio was the last indipedent dev/publisher that made actual good racing games and also had other studios under its umbrella.
The problem here is that we all know what EA has done with the studios they bought.
Grid, F1, Dirt, Micromachines and many other franchises dating from 1986 (!) will probably be dead in a year.
As a racing genre fan and probably expert (i have over 40 racing games plats on PS) and having played almost all of Codemasters’ games i am extremenly dissappointed with this result.
Its not only Codemasters that goes down the rabbit hole-trash can like so many other studios bought by EA, its the racing games as a genre.
Goodbye Codemasters. You dun played yourself.
I hope the Darling Brothers are happy.
I hope I can score Hamilton's Mercedes.Can't wait for F1 ultimate team
