As odd as this may sound, I think this could only be good news for the franchise. I wasn't in with Epic but I was in with people that were in with Epic, and nothing but bad news was coming from there, and the company took the game in too casual of a direction, putting little focus on the competitive aspect until after Judgement was already released and their in house competitive testing was done by people that didn't play the game in a traditional manner, and it killed the franchise. What the series needs to have a second life is a reboot, we just have to hope that the new company will take embrace both competitive and casual play alike, and can produce a quality game, rather than just the buy license and produce a shitty game because they know it will sell because of the franchise name.
