Do we see also cuts in the management who pretty much created this fucking situation? Why is always the normal people who have to go necessarily, but the management stays.

Embracer has done nothing but buy and buy so yes, they totally made it.

They do not have the quality titles to support their stream of acquisitions.

of course not, they thought they would be bought up by some saudis and that deal went sour. At least the people responsible for that stupid deal need to be fired.

Where are all the people know who always jump into the comments to say stuff like “let’s wait and see before we assume this massive evil corporation buying our favorite cool small game development company is going to end badly. Personally I bought stock in the massive evil corporation because I was excited and they said they wouldn’t change or ruin anything about my beloved game company so what are you worried about?”

I always get shouted down by them when I point out that this always ends the same exact way every single time.
