Getting lotr ip is interesting. I hope a proper action game like the old EA in the list.

Not sure about the publisher thing though, but maybe you can find some in there. This isn’t updated with the latest info though, I think it’s as of may 2022.

I have no idea how their/this system works. They produce games on the level of Midway, Acclaim, Jowood and old THQ, maybe excluding Gearbox, Eidos and Crystal Dynamics, and maybe Milestone, Saber, Volition (& someone I forget ???) are on the edge of finally reaching AAA, but so far not much actual blockbusters, nevertheless seem to have money to spent without limits and blowing themselves up like Crytek and Jowood in their best/worst days.
AA was not really destined to survive previous gens, what is different now?

All Amazon got is a tiny portion of the rights and one tv show, these mofos will make a universe out of it.

What kind of monstrosity are they trying to spawn here? Are they in just for the intellectual properties or something?

They spent roughly $600m dollars on all of that. I would've thought that the LotR IP alone would be worth at least that much. I guess LotR is dead for the most part.

The "secret" is that people really don't know that many items they buy or services they use comes from Sweden, Swedish companies or are Swedish Inversions.

They are gonna run it into the ground Disney style.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
People need to understand that an IP, especially one such as LOTR that has only so many books, can tell so many stories.

Seems less and less likely that any studio can survive being independent anymore. Having a mega-publisher for tons and tons of Indie/AA games is pretty interesting, hoping it works out because if not it could be catastrophic to tons of those smaller studios

Embracer is such an odd group. They have all those studios but there isn’t a single game or IP (barring LOTR rights) that I’m interested in. They feel like they are puffing themselves up for a huge purchase when Amazon or Apple get into games with a huge sub service.

Consolidation of the market...... people cheered this on not realizing what it meant.

As a consumer so far, it means serious money is being spent on pushing older games to be accessible on newer platforms. Until they go Disney Evil and start "vaulting" their libraries from customers, I'll just shrug off the potential loss of redundant publisher and marketing overhead.

Well, at least all these studios under Embracer Group will have more freedom to do what they want with more IPs than any other game company. Im glad they're snatching all these studios and IPs up before Tencent gets them so we dont have to worry about media getting censored to appease Winnie the Poo Jinping.

These companies are looking to be purchased. Keep it coming.

Teardown devs is a big get, even just for their physics engine. they have potential to make the next Minecraft.
LotR rights is massive licensing deal. imagine Kingdom Come Deliverance devs making a game with the IP.
Singtrix and Gioteck means they have accessory plans.
with the massive amount of quantity they have Embracer can open their own digital store and start a subscription service. It would certainly have more value than EA's service right now.

Ubisoft, T2, and EA are all looking to be bought. The industry is going to turn into Microsoft vs Tencent in a decade.

They don't even have movie studios and they are going to make big budget LOTR movies as their first project?
Amazon, Sony, Disney or WB didn't want the rights? I don't get it.

Seemed like a bunch of nothing until the lotr ip drop out of fucking left field.
Seems ok for the time being, seem to be pretty much a holding group and let everyone do their own thing, I'm extremely concerned that if a group (Amazon, Apple, Google, tencent) wanted to get an immediate foothold in the sphere, they'd sell

I love how all the Ubisoft studios are just "Ubisoft [City]".
Actually, no, I find it boring as fuck, those studios have no identity.

That's the point. A modern corporate strategy is to rid of identity inside the workplace. The less creative thinking that goes on in the office, the more likely they will do as their told.

Is this a Sweden/Switzerland joke, or did you actually think things from Sweden are called "Swiss"? Lol.

It's slang,
No it's not? "Swiss" means that something is from or in Switzerland. Not Sweden. Things from Sweden are "Swedish". Swiss banks are in Switzerland, not Sweden.
