| Ka-pi96 said: They still are a joke to me. All they do is acquire stuff. I haven't seen them actually produce anything good from those acquisitions yet. Like if EA bought the rights to LOTR you'd be 100% sure games are coming. They may be cheap cash grab games, there may be a mobile game or two as well, but games would definitely be coming. Embracer? They may just continue to sit on their ass and do nothing with it, that's what they've done with everything else so far. |
I think they're playing the long game, I'm just not sure what that is exactly. Building up the portfolio so that someone eventually buys them? Or becoming super-publisher like no other? They've bought enough high profile video game development studios (if I'm counting right, 5 or 6 are AAA) AND they own Asmodee, the largest hobby boardgames publisher in the world, something that no other VG publisher owns (I'm waiting for someone like MS to snatch Hasbro for Wizards of the Coast (D&D and Magic the Gathering)).
