The end of video games is near. We are getting close. Soon all video game consoles will be in museums

Embracers bought up countless studios and IPs with no planning of how to adequately use it’s acquired assets. Now the company that gloated about having more studios than Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo combined, is falling apart.

And this folks is why one company shouldn’t hold the keys to so many beloved IPs.

Embracer used all that money to become a juggernaut powerhouse in terms of how many developers they have, only to not see it come to fruition. Like, was there a tax break someone got for spending all that money, or hidden incentive were all not aware of? It seems so ludicrous of a notion, like, spend millions upon millions of dollars, hundreds of millions, for them to do what they've been doing and that's basically closing the very studios they spent alot of money on acquiring. Free Radical and Timesplitters needs to happen, that franchise needs a reboot.

What sense did that make?

Bruh sell this guy's off then? They bought up all these studios, did NOTHING with them and rather than sell em off they close em down cause they were too stupid with their spending. What an absolute fk up.

We never get a HD collection of these with some tweaks and that’s a missed opportunity along with legacy of kain series

Ouch more like deadly embrace.

Whatever happened to the Timesplitters Remake that I heard about over a decade ago?

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
