Well this is a good start but they’d need to lose Enix and Taito too.

#4The newer tomb raider games are the most AAA games I’ve ever seen. Not saying they’re good, or bad, but every other moment is a handcrafted moment. It sort of works. A lot of it is platforming through crumbling environments. Which is pretty cool. It’s sort of overdone too.
SquareEnix felt legendary growing up.

#5I don't know anything about the debt/risk etc.. around this, but $300M seems very, very low for 3 studios with lots of IP.

The 300M received will 100x itself in the cryptospace though, must look to the future not the now.
according to square's leadership anyway

#7The Embracer Group's portfolio is becoming scary big. They're really scooping up development studios left and right. I appreciate that they're not doing much with them right now, but it makes me concerned for the future.

#10I'd be interesting to see the full list of IP they've sold.
The article only gives three examples, one game I've never heard of, one recycled shooter from the 2000s and then there is Tomb raider - a series with twenty instalments, already milked to dust for pre-sequels, squeals and reboots more times then seems fair.
Clearly someone thinks they can squeeze a few more dollars out of people here but personally im not seeing it.
