Report: Embracer leases Tomb Raider franchise to Amazon in $600 million deal
https://www.tweaktown.com/news/90192/report-embracer-leases-tomb-raider-franchise-to-amazon-in-600-million-deal/index.html
Amazon has reportedly paid $600 million to secure the rights to the Tomb Raider franchise, plans to release multimedia like games, films, TV shows.

For the record, Embracer paid just $300 million, and that wasn't only for Tomb Raider. Someone at Square-Enix must be kicking themselves right about now.

Now? That amount was ridiculously bad from the beginning. When I first heard about the deal, thought it had to be fake. Nintendo got 375 million dollars for Rare in 2002. In a market where their contemporaries where getting billions for far less, Square Enix dumped their western studios for 300 million. If I was shareholder, I would have been livid. Heads should of rolled the moment that deal was announced.
