Hopefully for them EA wont screw them over a third time.
For those who have no clue what I'm talking about: for the first game Vince Zampella indicated EA signed a permanent console exclusivity deal with Microsoft behind Respawn's back, with the game supposed to be only timed exclusive at first:
Always MS exclusive at launch, great partner and focus is good for a startup. EA made a deal for the rest, we only found out recently =(

And the second time they got screwed over was Titanfall 2's launch window. Launching 1 week after Battlefield 1 and 1 week before Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (which as a reminder had a Special Edition which included Modern Warfare Remastered) was stupidity at the most extreme level. You could speculate that Respawn might have had a hand in that release date, but I doubt Respawn would make such a stupid decision.
Hopefully they'll do the right thing and launch in Q1-Q2 2019 or something instead of going up against 2018's CoD title and whatever Battlefield game EA is releasing then.
