Pretty sure the deal was with respawn, which needed the funding. People are pretending that this wasn't a mutually beneficial agreement between Microsoft and Respawn (and EA I suppose).
Titanfall isn't guarnateed to make back the money MS invested in it. I wouldn't even call this a money hat, but rather an investment agreement. Now, COD timed DLC you could consider a money hat, since that is a proven IP already.
Hindsight might seems to be 20/20, but there might not even BE a Titanfall right now if the studio didn't get the funding it needed.

The exclusivity agreement was actually between ea and microsoft, not respawn.

Correct, and Respawn signed a partnership with EA , which means they received funding from EA.
