Embracer Group omistaa muun muassa sellaiset kuin Borderlands, Tomb Raider ja The Lord of the Rings, ja menestys on ollut hyvää. Nyt kuitenkin osake on lähtenyt varsin jyrkkään laskuun.
Syynä on Embracerin ilmoitus kahden miljardin dollarin arvoisen kaupan menemisestä sivu suun. Asiasta kertoi Embracer itse. Kaikki oli valmista, ja sitten pieleen meni kuitenkin.
"We have been working on one groundbreaking strategic partnership agreement that would have set a new benchmark for the gaming industry.
Negotiations have been taking far longer than originally anticipated considering we had a verbal commitment already in October 2022. The specific deal included more than USD 2 billion in contracted development revenue over a period of six years."
"All documentation was finalized and ready to go as of yesterday. We asked for the execution of the agreement before our Q4 announcement. However late last night we received a negative outcome from the counterparty. This decision was unexpected to the management and the Board of Directors of Embracer."
