Never liked this company, I knew all those acquisitions would blow up in their faces.

Man, I really hope all this doesn't affect the supposed return of Soul Reaver... They asked fans if they wanted to see a return and said they were working on something if I'm not mistaken.

Sony is taking to long to take a proper action on this.

They´re too busy making sh!t acquisitions to even bother with a nearly bankrupt Embracer. Then later, they´ll go out crying and complaining that MS wants to buy everything. Smdh.

MS is taking too long to make a good game.

They're too busy making shit acquisitions to even bother with managing their existing studios. Then later, they'll go out crying that they are the underdog in the industry and continue to pays billions like it is nothing to buy up the rest of the industry.

No good news is coming from Sony.

I don’t think they can aquire anything…..
They messed up with bungie, and laying off people.

This is reality

They own ALOT of studios. More than anyone else except for maybe Tencent. A lot of this is probably clutter. Sony would probably be better server purchasing individual studios or IP from Embracer then simply buying the whole thing. Plus all of their games should be coming to PlayStation anyway. So why buy the publisher?

There isn't going to be an Xbox next gen, just a Microsoft branded PC that any manufacturer can make.

Thank you for using the term "region" since that was always what happened. The amount of media that used the term country led to many misinformed people.

According to SteamDB Statistics:
"The use of the word "subdivisions" below refers to states, provinces, regions and other categories."

"Totals
As of december 2017, there are 250 countries, 4024 subdivisions and 45261 cities in Steam's location data."
