What do they really gain by buying 3D Realms? The Duke Nukem IP is at Gearbox now, and the Prey IP is at Xbox. 3D Realms has 7 employees and some contractors, and all they've been doing is publish a handful of indies. What's the big "get" here?

Somebody said this with a recent Tencent acquisition and I'll repeat it.. what is the end game here do we think? Are Embracer just trying to be a mega publisher for no other reason than they can? Or is a console or Game Pass model in their future?

Yeah. They’re buying up tonnes of smaller places to make one big place. They would be like the A24 of gaming (outside of the real A24 of gaming lol)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
