Well, Id rather they sell studios than close them down. Closing them just doesnt make sense. RIP Volition and Free Radical.

Thinking about it more, what the hell is Embracer doing? Like how much did they overspend that theyre basically selling their golden goose, closing studios, and cancelling games left and right? Whats going to be left of Embracer after the dust settles, you know? Seems like theyre cannibalizing themselves.

To be fair, Gearbox was always a pretty crap deal for whoever was buying it because 2K owns the publishing rights to Borderlands in perpetuity. It would not surprise me if they end up under 2K, and that they end up costing 2K a lot less than they cost Embracer.

Ah that's fair. I forgot about 2K.

Still weird Sega let 2K go.
