Embracer paid too little for Tomb Raider and Deus Ex and that’s a good thing

The purchase of Tomb Raider and Deus Ex by Embracer for what amounts to corporate pocket change may actually point to a positive future.

I think square just wanted to get rid of them quickly hence the low price.

NotoriousWhiz724d ago

Square is becoming a junkie that needs its NFT fix.

Sgt_Slaughter724d ago

Which is a horrible business decision considering how far gone NFTs are from the public eye. It's a dead market, it was never going to last.

VersusDMC724d ago

A rumored 200 million hit on square is a big deal. So they got their money back and some by selling the cause of the debt.

They probably got upfront payment from Microsoft on the Perfect Dark collab as well.

And before you say 200 million isn't that much... Square fired the creator of Final Fantasy for losing 100 million on the Final Fantasy Movie, got financial support from Sony and had to merge with Enix.

pietro1212724d ago

Square was merging with Enix before Spirits Within Flopped. Actually the merger was put on the back burner because of the flop. Sony has been supporting Square for years even when they had that publishing deal with EA up until they sold they stocks a few years ago.

VersusDMC724d ago

I stand corrected but it means the same thing. That 100 mil loss was so bad Enix was thinking about backing out of the merger.

And Square went to Sony for financial help(they bought 18% stocks) because of the 100 million dollar loss on Spirits Within.

Just saying 200 million isn't corporate pocket change to Square enix.

jeromeface724d ago

spirits within was also 21 years go... so it was alot more than 100m in todays money

Psychonaut85724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

Insane that Squenx believed in their IPs so little. And the fact they’re using the money to invest in blockchain is a metaphorical slap in Lara, Adam, and Kain’s digital faces as well. Maybe Embracer group will show more respect

Outlawzz724d ago

Yay a 4th console to be aware of now lol

Jk jk... I hope

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo23h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9022h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198914h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha23h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno23h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan23h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno22h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198123h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66914h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19818h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Inverno23h ago

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Cacabunga1d 18h ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 13h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d 11h ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
