Saints Row owner Embracer announces "comprehensive restructuring program" to close studios, cut jobs
eurogamer.net

Crystal Dynamics was confirmed to be safe, but otherwise Embracer hasn't mentioned which projects or which studios are going to be seeing cuts. Worrying news for a company which has made so many acquisitions in so little time, and which has only released a handful of notable games.

I was wondering when they were gonna stop eating every single studio, I guess they tried to brute force their way to profit and are now realizing it was a terrible plan

What was the point of all those acquisitions then? This is horrible

The main purpose was to acquire all the IPs.

God, what a strange company, their Wikipedia gave me a headache. Apparently THQ Nordic is now Austrian?

Really worrying that they wouldn't announce which studios will get hit. The newest Saints Row was a bomb, but the rest of their companies seem to be doing pretty well. It would be annoying if good studios get laid off from this...
