RIP all those beautiful studios. (I dont have any memories of Dreamworks Interactive though)

DreamWorks was more of a case they wanted in on games, made medal of honor. Then it either didn't do as good as they wanted it to or they had a bad experience with publishing it, so they just sold the studio and it's rights to EA.
