Taannoin studio Volition sulki ovensa, ja Crystal Dynamicsia ovat kohdanneet irtisanomiset. Lisää on kuitenkin varmaankin luvassa.
Embracer Groupin vuosittaisessa istunnossa toimitusjohtaja Lars Wingefors antoi ymmärtää, että lisääkin sulkemisia ja irtisanomisia on tulossa.
"It's tough from many standpoints, obviously, but we are determined to deliver on this. Preferably we would like to find new opportunities for the employees, even if it's outside of Embracer Group potentially. Sometimes it'll be a divestment, or that we are working with partners to finance some projects. But ultimately we are making decisions to either restructure or to downsize some teams and there will be a few cases of closures. We are confident to deliver on the target set out for the end of the fiscal year."
Mahdollista on sekin, että Embracer Groupin omistuksia myydään muualle, kuten esimerkiksi Gearbox Software. Tähän Wingefors ei oikein halunnut kommenttia antaa.
"There is a strong, vibrant market with many, many active players - both financial sponsors and big industry players. But it's easier to run proper processes for, I would say, more high-value assets than smaller assets."
