              Its a bit of risk taking. I expect them to be on the up in a couple of weeks, but with their value now down to nearly half thats a steal. Once they rise again, you can sell shares if you like for double the price in this case, or keep them in hopes of increasing their worth.

        Yes, it still is good, as half of a games budget is marketing. So, the game took twice as long as expected (for a AAA game) to make, so would have cost ~1.5 times what a game without development hell would have (ignoring opportunity cost).
        The game has also not released on Steam yet, so they have even more potential to make money off of it.

      It’s already in development. From what I can glean, this was possibly related to some form of exclusivity, and to additional trans-media initiatives.

      I dont think this impacts Embracer's IPs, they were supposed to do contracted work for someone else. Might have been Sony, if the news about the cancellation of Kotor Remake is true.

      The deal was between Embracer and some unknown company, personally think it was Amazon. Embracer was supposed to be contracted for 2bn to develop games for the other company, with the talks first starting October last year. The deal fell through last night for reasons unknown and thats all we know.

        Who actually decides whether a deal goes through or not and what are the decisions, does the CEO or someone from senior management make it?

          Depends.

          The CEO could be involved depending on how the deal got started and how important it is, who started the talks, etc.

          I wanna know who they were talking with.

          CEO usually relays the proposal to the shareholders and investors and depending on their personal views, tries to dissuade them from or convince them to agree to the deal.
          The CEO has no real power (unless they're the largest shareholder of the company).

        They are already working on Amazon with multiple other projects, and from has been said it does not seem like a game development deal, or at least not primarily one.

      Seems like they sold to a company in 2018, which had its management replaced, then a israelite bought it out last year in August. Now they are closing the studio to increases profits, because it’s faster than selling it or finding a third-party publisher for I.G.I.

    Embracer just in the tenuous position of the fact that they're trying to reclaim the A-AA space that the major publishers abandoned, but they also don't have a huge super-tentpole service game that they can use to keep pressure off their other properties. That would've normally been Saints Row but those haven't been doing too hot, and future potential ones like Tomb Raider and Deus Ex are still years off if anything is actually happening, and that's without Crystal Dynamics working on Perfect Dark. They can't even enjoy the lion's share of Borderlands success because 2K publishes that.

    As it is, they need one of their studios to put out fricking anything. Now that Dead Island 2's out of the way maybe Dambuster can put some manpower toward Free Radical and get that forever rumored Timesplitters moving towards something concrete.

      Dambuster and Free Radical are different studios, they split in 2021, and Timesplitters 4 has been in development since then.
