Give it a little while, Embracer will sell some of their studios 
These dudes can't even be bothered to publish Tomb Raider or fund it, they're just a holding company, I'm thinking if Microsoft wanted Crystal Dynamics enough then them being owned by Embracer Group won't stop them.

Maybe Xbox just wasn't interested in them, couldn't they have put like idk some kind of hold, or notice (legit have no idea what I'm talking about if this exists in businesses as it relates to M&A). But I feel like it's akin to insurance where you are trying to move carriers, and you are looking to shop for better premiums. The agent of record would be notified if the insured would be selling. This would give them an opportunity to negotiate with the current carrier. This is also MS we're talking about.. and they did let bioware go. |
Probably can tell them that they're interested but the developer isn't going to wait around forever.
