1) The vets thing is Activision
2) You cancel games that will probably not sell well because...well they won't sell well. If facebreaker 2 has to go so I can get more Dragon Age DLC then good on them.
3) You buy out smaller companies to gain assets like, IP, employee, and most of all money. Its the way the world works. The Bioware/Pandemic buy worked for them. The Playfish thing might too and get them more money to focus on their good games... old (sports titles) and new (Dead Space, Mass Effect and the like).
