Jesus, didn’t know they controlled the devs behind DRG. Their newest spinoffs looked very…generic. This probably explains why. :/
Really dislike games companies being listed on the stock market. Seems to corrode them from the inside out.

“Cut ties with,” as if the studios were made independent. You shitcanned them. You fired four and a half thousand people, because of unrelated gambling problems.
Fuck embracer. I’m never getting another good timesplitters
Granted, the leaked footage made it look more like a third person shooter, like fortnight
Embracer extends then extinguishes.
never sell your studio or game to a publisher. I hope every one understands that this time around.
Yes but, money now!
That’s easy for us to sit back and say on some internet forum. When a large company exec is sitting in front of you, waving a massive pile of money at you, it’s a hell of a lot harder. Especially if your company is struggling or you just really want to focus on making games and leave the business side of things to someone else.
It’s not that simple for everyone. Some of the studios that wound down in the last year did so because they couldn’t find funding from publishers, due to the general lack of investment. It’s not easy to run a games company with no outside investment whatsoever.
Is cut ties the new corpo lingo for saying fired??

Good catch. Corporate speak revolves around saying shitty things but spinning them in a positive way.
