This thread lives in a world where Destiny doesn't exist. I think Titanfall looks great but I feel like Destiny will be the next "big one"
And maybe they signed an exclusive deal with Microsoft?

Snooze. That Alex Jones paranoia creeping into the collective psyche of gamers.
We're better than this GAF
GUYS...
EA CANNOT SELL THE IP TO MICROSOFT. They are publishing Titanfall 1 so they can do whatever they want with that game, but the IP belongs to Respawn. If by some choice MS bought it without anyone knowing except the EIC of Polygon, then Respawn sold it, and it would make it even more bizarre that MS isn't publishing it.

I meant more in terms of seemingly having no input on important decisions that impact the future of his studio's IP.
You'd think after what happened at Acti, he and the studio as a whole would be a lot more cautious when it comes to dealing with mega publishers like EA...

Does Respawn even know about this?
Seriously though, I'm sensing bullshit on this. No word from any Respawn guys and MS would've had to go them to make the deal.

Wouldn't be surprise - MS and EA have been all buddy-buddy. When did that start? EA's always given Sony exclusive content and such. What changed?
That is not purchasing the IP...

Focus please, people. EA has nothing to do with this, they do not own the actual IP. If this does turn out to be true, Respawn sold the IP to Microsoft themselves.

This is a dumb post.
Dunno about being like CoD. Just another shooter to me.
Even wobbles while executed.
cash?
Money?
EA cannot sell the IP. It's not theirs.

its source engine. I think if your pc can do L4D2 and portal 2, this should be fine...

seriously wtf. the IP still hasn't seen it's first game and it been bought out by MS.
obviously Respawn sold it. question is, are they going to become a MS first party or split off and start yet another new IP.

The way i see it working is that Respawn have entered in to a contractual agreement with EA where they will be exclusive publishers of Respawn software. If EA don't want to publish Respawn games on other consoles then they don't have to.
EA have then entered into an agreement with Microsoft where they will only publish Titanfall games on the xbox and PC hence Titanfall not being released anywhere else. IP has not changed hands, Respawn couldve been left out of the loop etc.

If that isn't smart I would love to know what is.

Smart move, but quite sad. They would need this in order combat the onslaught of amazing exclusives Sony is going to crush them with this year and the next.

Hastily transcribed around 1:10 in the video:
"We know what Microsoft's got coming out. They've already shown some of it, they've talked about it and they've already put Titanfall with a giant pin on the map. In order to hammer that Titanfall "1" was always going to be an Xbox/PC exclusive. In order to really hammer that in, they've bought the rights to the whole series."
"Oh, ok"
"Oh, oh they did"
"It it it's not just the first..."
"Titanfall 2 will never... They bought Titanfall"
"Uh.... Probably a good business move for them"
"Probably a good buy. Dump truck of money."
