Yep, was here to say roughly the same thing.

Buy up studios, Claim their IPs, shut them down to reduce the existing number of studios, and more importantly..properties, and thus competition.

I feel quite certain that this was the plan all along.

Shit like this should cause the purchased entity to revert to prior ownership without refund to the purchaser.
