AGAIN FUCK EMBRACER GAMES
Shareholders, probablyIs there going to be anything left of Embracer come 2024?
Absolutely disgusting behaviour, and even worse is knowing the people responsible for this mess will face minimal if any repercussions.
I genuinely think Embracer’s CEO and board of directors belong in prison. They deserve jail time.
if this keeps up i think Embracer should 100% be investigated tbh. some level of fraud has to be happening.
have any Embracer studios actually put out videogames? they own a ton of shit. how are they not bringing in any money to sustain themselves?
Like goldeneye/perfect that aiming should have been used by ir wiimote.Bummer, I love the skill based (controller with crosshair movement buffer) aiming in their shooters. Everyone else just does point and shoot. Boring.
.
This would be a studio I'd love to see Nintendo rescue.
Holding company for the rights of Lord Of The RingsIs there going to be anything left of Embracer come 2024?
Nintendo not saving Free Radical or Fishlabs is pretty disappointing.
Purple Lamp is obviously next to get the ax from Embracer.
These are all studios with some history with Nintendo or Nintendo HW and a lot of Nintendo DNA.
Everything about Embracer sucks so much ass, hate hate hate it. I hope the folks at each studio that suffers from the executive dumbass mistakes are able to find a new opportunity sooner than later.
It's not really up to Nintendo to save every studio that's down just cause they had history over two decades ago.
Would it be nice? Yeah
As a realistic expectation? Nah
Just sell the studio ffs. To Playtonic, preferably. Reunite Rare.
Jesus Christ, I just want off this roller coaster. If you're denying they're not shutting down, you better fucking keep your word, WingesforUpdate Wednesday, November 29: Embracer has denied the report and says that an email confirming that Free Radical Design will close on December 11 was not sent out. Nor was a statement released for the decision.
Both can be trueUPDATE (GI.biz):

Yeah, I wasn't exactly holding my breath for a flash of hope knowing it was probably some PR juggling. Still infuriating; what do they possibly hope to accomplish by "controlling the narrative" here? That the C-suite execs are not flaming assholes? A little late to un-spark that tinderboxBoth can be true
FR is shutting down in a few weeks
Embracer did not send out an email/release a statement saying they would be shut down in a few weeks
They likely just verbally told people it was gonna happen, or emails discussing it were intercepted by whoever leaked it
The country is NOT in a state of crisis.UPDATE (GI.biz):

Fuck Embracer
I wish. We're not gonna even get that. From the looks of it, after 3 studio closures they're planning the shutter Deep Silver altogether as there's nothing left. It seems Deep Silver was managed badly, they were too hands on on everything (which lead to that awful state of Saints Row). And now the studios are suffering the crimes of the management.I Full expect a company like Embracer to put salt in to the woubd by making a crappy port of 1 and 2 Timesplitteters I to the future or burime the IPs even more now that they own them
