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. |
Will wait for Embracer Group to report on that first, they'd legally have to and I see nothing yet so I wouldn't be too sure about it being true.
But it'd be hilarious if Square sold everything for $300m and Embracer sold one IP for $600m...Square would be truly braindead business wise.
Having said that, $600m sounds a bit too much for Tomb Raider alone.
Maybe the $600m is the total cost of the IP + Tomb Raider Show in Development + Tomb Rader Game in Development.
Same site is reporting that Embracer is negotiating the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit rights off Warner Bros, Lol.
