Alright, which MS exec left to have a role in Embracer Group years ago ala Nokia and Ybarra?

Man I don't even want to imagine a scenario where MS buys Embracer. They legit don't need anything else gaming-wise, and already got too much on their plate as-is.

Anything outside a couple of smaller dev studios for the next 5-8 years is just gluttony and excess.

Curious to see where Sazzy puts that $2 billion towards though, if it stays in anything gaming-related. Probably more purchasing of Nintendo shares (can't wait to see how a certain other forum would try spinning that again).

Could be that they didn't like how Saints Row turned out.

It's not even a scoop. Everyone knows it was the Saudis that pulled out of the deal.

He's full of it.

I still don't understand how Embracer has a business.

Their entire business was

1. Acquire numerous indie and AA game studios without a history of producing profitable or popular games
2. ???
3. PROFIT!

My bet is the Saudis pulling out.

Looks like you were on the money:
