IMO the game F1 alone is worth the 1.2 Billion dollars to EA. Formula One IMO is a Universal type game that potentially could appeal and be acceptable to a wide range of ages, countries. With Cross-play, new HDTV tech such as The Wall TV, pin point audio being developed, the game may become a Worldwide Electronic Gaming Sport.

@Wireworm5 IMO this buyout is bad for CM,EA is well-known for it's Buy Rush Kill cycle.If CM being forced to make new games in a rush(Just like Criterion was forced to put out MW2 project in less than 18 months) EA will certainly blame the team for poor sales of the rushed game.In the end CM will also be shut down after few failures.EA killed Blackbox/Distinctive(Core people already left in 2013)/Westwood/Origin(not the store but the dev) and lots of others.Normal situation if CM is killed after few games.
