It's Devolver. Expect anything and nothing.
"On the divestment side there is a strong vibrant market with many, many active players."
Sounds like you purchased them more like they were limited edition coins or stamps to profit from with a sale than really doing anything with the acquisitions.
Now, it's looking for buyers and shoving the rest out into the unemployment line.
At least Tencent gets things done, though I can see Microsoft already eying up a few studios if not all of them. I hope this is not the death of Deus Ex, I need more.
Genuinely don't think there's been a bigger fuck up of a company I can think of in gaming. Buy all these IP and studios and then close them all down, wtf.
Embracer really did not know how to manage these companies. This is what happens with too fast expansion in business.
The laws are simple, make profit margin of 10-15% from the get go from each of your companies/studios, or you have to fire people and projects will be delayed or cancelled. Their salary and other operational costs were too high. I can't believe they didn't crunch the numbers well enough. I was always thinking where does the money come from.
Many workers who have families may lose their source of income and it has a real effect on them because some megalomaniac pretend executive didn't do their job. The good news is that most of the talent will likely find a new home very easily. The bad news is that lot of the good work they put in may be lost forever.
On the eve of its 15th anniversary, GOG, the digital distribution platform known for offering DRM-free games, reflects on its journey and the importance of game preservation.

Microsoft executives seemingly considered bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming to the Sony PlayStation 5 through a browser.
So much weird crap has come out from all this this. They honestly don’t know what the hell to do with Xbox.
This is where it is eventually heading, gamepass will go platform agnostic and MS will stop making hardware. The writing has been on the wall for years.
Its no different to what they did with Apple when they wouldn't allow a proprietary Xcloud/gamepass app.
Xcloud by definition is the opposite of 'console business', its entire purpose is the lack of requirement for console/dedicated hardware. They want it on anything with a browser.
Instead of selling games they should make a stage play
They publish so many great games. This will be interesting.
Love their games but I can't deal with the formula they do these in. I'll wait until it is over and scan past the drama between announcements
That was better than I expected! Great work.
Day 1 and the preshow were kinda dull to be honest. I was expecting a breakout year, I’m wrong so far. Trek to Yomi looks amazing, that’s the only stand out for me. That and JW evolution 2 but that’s not e3 style hype. I hope Xbox and Bethesda kill it tomorrow and save my prediction. So far it’s meh.
