Embracer is just trying to ruin as many Christmases as possible, aren’t they? By the time this is over Embracer might be able to match EA for number of studios they’ve bought and shut down. Hopefully those impacted land on their feet, but given the state of the industry I’m skeptical.

The industry is still incredibly profitable, surely having more staff around to make more games is still a profitable strategy…
