    I’m still wondering how burning the companies you bought makes anything better.

    These are game factories. Your business, on paper, is making games. How make game if no factory?

    When Infogrames bought Atari to wear its name like a cursed artifact, and later wound up hocking all the properties that made Atari, Atari, at least I understood that selling off IP is a source of revenue. This is just spending followed by not-spending. You gain nothing. You’ve obviously lost something. Specifically, you lost a thing that makes you gain things.
