Crystal Dynamics was confirmed to be safe, but otherwise Embracer hasn’t mentioned which projects or which studios are going to be seeing cuts. Worrying news for a company which has made so many acquisitions in so little time, and which has only released a handful of notable games.
God, what a strange company, their Wikipedia gave me a headache. Apparently THQ Nordic is now Austrian?
I imagine that Volition is on the chopping block.
I was wondering when they were gonna stop eating every single studio, I guess they tried to brute force their way to profit and are now realizing it was a terrible plan
I can’t say I’m surprised honestly - after Saints Row was such a commercial failure I can’t imagine they’re going to be throwing their weight behind a sequel…
What was the point of all those acquisitions then? This is horrible
The main purpose was to acquire all the IPs.
Gonna presume the reason why they haven’t announced which studios are being hit is because they haven’t yet told them. So there’s now 15k+ people sat that their desks worrying if they’ll have a pay check in a few weeks time. That sucks.
Really worrying that they wouldn’t announce which studios will get hit. The newest Saints Row was a bomb, but the rest of their companies seem to be doing pretty well. It would be annoying if good studios get laid off from this…
