I've never heard of embracer before, what games are they behind?
Non directly, they own a lot of companies and IP. A LOT.
Gearbox, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Warhorse, Aspyr, Saber, THQ Nordic, Dark Horse Comics, 3D Realms, Volition, Ghost Ship Games.
You can put them in the same sphere as Microsoft with all their owned companies as both were out scooping them up over the last few years.

That's a real shame they owned Coffee Stain, I liked Goat Simulator.
Don't forget Satisfactory. I really hope, this doesn't affect its development.
Did the game turn from good to bad now that you found out they aren't independent?
No, not at all. Just that there probably won't be any more Goat Simulator.
Goat Simulator 3 was released after they were acquired by Embracer.
Yeah and now that Embracer is shuttering, no more Goat Simulator lol
What makes you say that?
Because Embracer is closing the studio according to the article.
The article doesn't say anything about which studios are closing down.
Copied from Polygon article:
Squenix sold those off to pay for NFTs lol
All these companies are ran by fucking idiots that don't understand the world or economics.
I think that means no new Deus Ex as well...
