      Call me paranoid, but I suspect Embracer Group buys studios specifically to shut them down. They just want the IPs, not the talent.

        That is usually what big publishers do… Look at EA and Activision.

        It really sucks. But at the end of the day the studios that do get acquired do know of this risk… Only big studios such as Rockstar are safe from this.

          Oh, I know. But there’s nothing wrong with EA and Activision that can’t be fixed with a bit of old-fashioned (Teddy) Roosevelt-era antitrust prosecution.

            Yeah maybe but have this happend tho? I would think people in this situation would rather go about their day instead of working for someone that clearly doesn’t want them.
