The further news of Gearbox being potentially on the chopping block are also not too surprising… It’s just: Who’s gonna buy this Frankenstein version of it? , i.e. the ‘Borderlands’ people, and maybe the initial publishing arm responsible for ‘We Happy Few’ and the current ‘Homeworld’ stuff, would probably be snatched up by Take-Two/2K in a hearbeat.

Can’t say I’m surprised by these layoffs. I would’ve expected the studio to be closed completely, though.
Guess, someone has to keep the motocross and monster-truck games going… Even if they don’t make absolute bank, they probably make a steady amount of money.

Volition is no longer being Embraced!

In all seriousness, this is a fucked up situation.

I hope all those folks find employment or otherwise land on their feet quickly and the fuckers that put them in this situation just suddenly find a ton of shit in their mouths.

Re: Embracer’s plans for ‘The Lord of The Rings’, which are another… sub-par… announcement.

Very on-point article, IMHO. [And I honestly don’t care much about ‘TLotR’.]

Today's news about is an argument against the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard (as well as other attempts and industry consolidation).

Embracer is a company that has always seemed to lack direction or innovation, they think buying up studios and IPs is the path to long term success. Clearly it is not. It is time to stop the trend of consolidation once and for all before we lose studios and IPs forever.
