That's the best bit. Embracer get to keep them. Until they get so desperate for money that they start selling them off too. Surely they should be doing that already? Unless the plan is to let others use the IPs for some ridiculous price?

Is there even anyone left working under Embracer at this point?
Really thinking I should boycott the new AITD, no matter how good it may turn up to be.

I hear the janitors are having a grand old time of it. With so many of the others gone there's so much less to clean, but they're being kept around anyway because the bigwigs want spotless offices /s

The numbers that Embracer have gone through puts into perspective how much IP they bought. I think we're looking at a fair few franchises disappearing forever.

Maybe get the Saudi cash before buying up everything in sight would have been a better idea in case it all fell through?
Fucking idiots.

Maybe buying up all these studios and IP's to artificially raise the value of your company for a prospective sale wasn't a good idea after all...

And of course everyone who made the decisions that got them here are still in a high paying job.

Fucking hell. That games getting cancelled guaranteed. You can't make a game like God of War with 50 people.

Please, some publisher, buy the IP, all developed assets and the devs off of them.

At this point they should just rip off the plaster and just announce everything they're closing/cutting.

Every single time it's a slow knife turn on the industry. Can anything be done about those in charge? Case of gross mismanagement maybe?

I only found out the other day that they own Zen Studios. That explains why Pinball FX has gone to shit.

Feels like Saber dodged a bullet there to be honest, assuming the new owners aren't also a shower of shit.

It does indeed look like Gearbox are doing something similar to Saber, getting away from the sinking Embracer ship seems very wise.

Yeah, sale closing next month.
Shame the other studios didn't (reportedly) get this chance
