Who will shut down more studios they just acquired in the last several years ? Embracer or MS?

Well... Tbh, gamers didn't buy the game. Not a justification, it's just that Embracer is almost Bankrupt and if a game doesn't sell... There's an obvious answer.

I honestly really enjoy the game, but i knew many people were not going to get it's approach to making everyone seem weird like the original. They talked a lot about that and all i kept thinking was people are just going to take this as bad acting and lose interest. Also did not need expensive actors for their main roles, that certainly didn't work in their favor.

Well Embracer is ran by a bunch of morons who burn through money like there's no tomorrow. From what I saw on streams the game didn't look that bad and actually looked interesting. I didn't know it was based off of some old computer games. I am going to grab it next time I am in Gamestop. Embracer shutting down the studio I am not surprised. Spend money like a moron buying up other studios with out a plan everybody feels the ripple effect. Shame that people are going to be out of work because of Embracer and their stupidity.

It's a shame, ai think while the game had some issues it was a pretty decent game overall. I would have loved a sequel by the same team, they could have learned from their mistakes and delivered something really cool I think.

My main issue with the game is that combat can be a bit janky, and I wish it had been a little more like Resident Evil. It's very fragmented, mainly puzzles in the mansion and combat in the other dimensions. Would have liked to have had it more seamless.

Embracer fighting in the pole position with MS, Ubisoft and EA as the most hated gaming company.

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
