Study: Nearly 61% of Acquired Game Studios Have Declined or Shut Down A new analysis by Sebastian Cardoso, a former Riot Games, Crytek, and EA employee, examined 303 game studios acquired by major companies since 2000. According to the findings, 60.8% experienced declining game performance or were shut down, with approximately one-third closing entirely. The percentage of studios that declined or closed under each publisher: Activision Blizzard: 100% Microsoft: 63% Sony: 58% Tencent: 50% Embracer Group: 43% However, the findings depend on the study’s methodology and do not prove that acquisitions directly caused these outcomes.
