PLEASE GOD SAVE DEUS EX FROM EMBRACER PLEASE SAVE EIDOS MONTREAL PLEASE GOD PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
>wanting nuDeusEx after HR
cringe
HR was amazing you fricking moronic boomer
HR is extremely mediocre, I don't know what collective parasite crawled up peoples brains to make them think it's some ground breaking title when it isn't.
It's ok boomer your time has passed, hopefully you'll be dead soon and the pain will end
PR departments masquerading as zoomers on platforms that are devoid of them, postclown world
Boomer cope
It's not a groundbreaking title but it's good. As is MD
You're going to get shit for this hot take but you're right. People forget that Dishonored came out less than a year later and did everything better than HR
Embracer employers stop posting here to keep your company value from falling, Arab investors don't visit this haram site. Go shill on twitter or YouTube comments
This is the kind of post you get when you allow the primary board to be /misc/.
HR and MD were released under Square Enix you troglodyte.
unironically 0/1 IRL
Amazingly mediocre
>zoomer trannies calling others tourists
kek keep seething troonies, enjoy eating literal shit.
>they made it better
wow, bravo anon
Holding up Invisible War as the pinnacle of the series when it is literally the worst of the four. Impressive taste.
Damn, the dude who's made it was mad as frick. So much salt. "Muh XP rewards", "my ledges", this is incredible.
HR and MD were amazing. Frick off, tourist.
This makes me side with the other guy.
Anyway HR played fun but has a moronic plot that ruined the lore going forward.
I was born on 2001 fricktard. HR has one of the greatest character building of the 2010s, go frick yourselves and find a new hobby.
All westoid shit should die I hope nothing is saved. All westoid developers should have no job.
crazy to think all that IP is going down with the ship "just in case" embracer wants to use them
>460 million
They’re not even worth 30 million lmao, what is T2 smoking? Will embracer still retain the rights to Duke?
Just for context; T2 isn't actually spending $460 million to buy Gearbox. What they are actually doing is just generating $460 million of new shares out of thin air and handing them over to Embracer. They're essentially getting the company for free with the only downside being less than 2% dillution of their share pool
>Take Two owns Gearbox which was owned by Embracer
>Embracer owned Volition before pulling the plug
>Volition is known for the Saints Row series
>Take Two owns Rockstar
>Rockstar is known for the Grand Theft Auto series
This is the closet Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row has ever been.
thank you for the stellar analysis
Is Embracer keeping their ips? This is the real question. Someone please provide an answer
No
>Take-two now owns Duke
It’s over
He should have been allowed to fade into the sunset with some dignity, years ago.
No studio in modern day can develop a good Deus Ex game anyway
A reminder that embracer bought gearbox for 1,3 billion 3 years ago.
4D chess at work
>Elex 3 never ever
>Darksiders 4 never ever
>Deus Ex Mankind Divided sequel never ever
why must the franchises that I like have to die. Meanwhile shitty companies like Blizzard and Ubisoft with their slop franchises will continue to trek on.
It's not fricking fair.
Embracer doesnt even know how to make money for their shareholders. Nothing to compare with ubislop and blizzard. They ballooned on cheap credit and tried to sell to the Saudis but the deal fell through and the CEO got fired, ever since the deal failed they've been fricked.
So many great IPs from the 2010s are stuck with Embracer, this company is one of the greatest cancer on gaming.
>Deus Ex Mankind Divided sequel never ever
You've had one for 24 years you dumb frick
Just learn that your standards don't matter, that your interests should follow what's popular and that niche stuff is doomed to fail.
Pledge allegiance to the titans, not the average men and women of the world.
>buy Geabox for 1.3 billion
>sell it for 460 million
Is this the elusive buy high sell low I've heard so much about on Ganker but done by a billion dollar corporation ?
Swedish buisness culture, you wouldn't understand.
they also built the largest physical game vault and won't allow visitors
Can't be as bad as the numbers make it up to be I think, the higher number is not fully in cash but in some obligations and promises IIRC
Can someone give me a rundown on what embracer still owns/what’s left? Besides Tomb Raider, deus ex, and LOTR license for games and asmondee which is /tg/ and not Ganker related
I think they picked up Kane and Lynch from Square Enix since the Hitman devs left it with them when they went independent. For what purpose I don’t know
dude there is a whole wiki page. They own pretty much every western A - AA IP that isn't Microsoft/Sony/Activision Blizzard or Take Two
From Wikipedia, the notable ones:
>Alone in the Dark
>Carmageddon
>Catan (/tg/)
>Darksiders
>De Blob
>Dead Island
>Destroy All Humans!
>Deus Ex
>Giana Sisters
>Gothic
>Hellboy (/co/)
>Homefront
>Jagged Alliance
>Legacy of Kain
>The Mask (/co/)
>Metro
>Red Faction
>Saints Row
>Stubbs the Zombie
>Stuntman
>Thief
>Ticket to Ride (/tg/)
>TimeSplitters
>Tomb Raider
>Zen Pinball
>Timesplitters and DAH!
why must we be cursed to lose the things we love
we need to save Homefront and Thief
>Homefront
ehhh
Thief can stay dead. It's better that way.
Actually we need 40 more years of Thief I want my grandkids to enjoy this franchise
The original games aren't going anywhere.
You need new games to keep a franchise alive nobody's playing wolfenstein 1992
damn, stuntman is a throw back, played the shit out of those games. I need to find some old copies and replay them.
Funny. Didn't Take-Two recently announce "Significant Cost Reduction"?
I didn't like Invisible War, Human Revolution or Mankind Divided. Still love the original DE though. Don't care if there is ever another game.
Why is there so many moronic boomers posting this shit?
Big news, surprises this is at page 8 considering how much this board shits on gearbox. Guess everyone's still at work
>important game news gets ignored
>coomer and bait threads still at the top
Never change Ganker
>own 3drealms, gearbox and duke ip
>does nothing
>save from one shitty publisher
>so that they can go to another shitty publisher
What's the point
Is here a game dev or similiar like an IT Nerd present?
The money is drying up and they don't want to change course.
Embracer group when it bought all these studios is the very definition of smug wojak.
this is hilarious, the frickers are like a parody of stakeholder capitalism, but for real.
>buy company
>wait 37 nanoseconds
>start kvetching about how they're not raking in millions of dollars
>sell everything
They did it to look good in front of saudis from who they expected billions of dollars in investment. The saudis pulled out and they were left with old IPs and studios full of people who can't make good games in them.
they had zero idea what they were doing because they were given a generous line of credit that got called in just as a massive deal for Saudi oil money fell through
I work at Asmodee and after Shitbracer bought our Shares everything went to shit.
Thanks to Corona we had record years and now we're not allowed to spend more money on new hires, new technologies and no bonuses even though we worked our asses of.
Frick those swedes.
Either Eidos goes to Microsoft, who will not do jack shit with their IPs, or it will go to Sony who will do nothing with their IPs and shut it down after two years. I cannot see for the life of me the company going any route which is not ending in complete disaster.
Take Two made out like bandits, holy shit.
That was peanuts for them. They'll make their money back from this acquisition from a month of GTA6 shark cards.
