At least now they're with an owner that might actually put some of their games on Switch.

I'm no fan of the consolidation of the world's devs under a handful of megacorps, but frankly I'd rather them be with the Embracer Group than Square Enix, or under other potential buyers like Tencent, and I'm glad Microsoft or Sony didn't get them.

Exactly right, curl. Embracer isn't a company that will discriminate development for a Nintendo console, rather they'll explore all options to put back catalogue games on Switch to make the most of their investment. For example, we could see the entirety of the most recent Tomb Raider trilogy on Switch for fair prices and without the cloud within the next two years.

Yeah looking at their catalog, few have supported the Switch as well as them. It's quite refreshing. They own Saber too so they even have their very own expert porting house.
