Why do you assume this "any game" is Titanfall 2?

As you said Respawn is a small company and the franchise they are working on right now is Titanfall. What other title do you think they're working on? Wherever Titanfall goes is entirely up to Respawn. They have major control over their project. EA just has a business partnership with them. EA wants as much money as possible so they would fund it being multiplat if the franchise becomes huge. Titanfall is not a Gears of War case. Microsoft isn't the publisher. They have no real say in what happens in the end and even Major Nelson admitted to that recently when asked about whether Titanfall was coming to the PS4. EA goes after the money and they destroyed Microsofts exclusivity deal with Bioware for Mass Effect and brought the whole franchise over the PS3. If Microsoft was smart they would've bought Bioware. This is what Microsoft gets for depending so much on third party instead up strengthening up their first party like Sony.

Wrong. This is actually what many people here believed (myself included, probably mostly out of fear of EA controlling {aka ruining} the franchise). You must have missed the part where the deal EA and MS struck up came as a complete surprise to Respawn. EA has deals with some IP's in their partners program where they retain no control over the IP. Titanfall is clearly not one of them.
Also strange to see you say MS should have just bought Bioware when you're constantly complaining and crapping on them for doing things just like that.
