It's actually a great example. If you buy a company and they all leave to form another company, then all you have is some IPs and no talent left. That's what happened with Incog and that's what happened with Rareware, that's why acquisitions are not so black and white. If MS pays U$3 billion to buy Take 2 but the Houser brother, Levine, Sid Meyer, etc all leave, then they got all the IP, but the games are gonna suck and people are gonna slowly migrate to the new IPs those people eventually make on their new companies. That's what's gonna happen with Call of Duty and Respawn's new game over the next 3-5 years.

Incognito didn't disband because of any consequence of/with with Sony, and if you can prove otherwise, provide it. In reality, the team disbanded and out of that came TWO more studios. Like I said, bad example.

Bottom line, Sony spent money to buy them, the heads and talent left and Sony got stuck with nothing and havint to deal with 2 new 3rd party studios. Lost money with that acquisition.
