Rumor is Embracer has now sold Tomb Raider to Amazon for $600m, while Embracer themselves only paid $300m for Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, and other IP's as well. Basically by buying the franchise from Square Enix for relative pennies because Xbox was tied up with ABK and unable to bid against them, they just got Crystal, Eidos, Deus Ex, Legacy of Kain, etc for free and still made $300m in profit.
Edit: Wow, latest update says they didn't sell the Tomb Raider franchise to Amazon, they only leased it to them for a limited time. So they made $600m leasing a single one of the 3+ Square Enix west IP's they acquired for $300m. Xbox really fucked themselves by allowing themselves to get tied up with ABK, lmao.
