Don’t be evil

Thanks, I didn’t know this. Yes, they should have sold some studios, I bet EA or some big publishers would have been happy to buy one or two. Downsizing like this, they kill any future chance for revenue growth, very stupid move

Fuck Embracer.

Eidos Montreal was a very good studio even recently, just look at Guardians of the Galaxy.

Then they cancelled their Deus Ex game, laid off 100 people, and 75 more. The studio has only 35 employees left, basically dead.

How the hell are they supposed to make game this way? Ehy would you buy a studio to kill it?

I think not even the CIA predicted the effectiveness of drones and javelins against old armor. Without modern defenses, they are just sitting (or slowly moving) ducks. Add to this the corruption in the military, causing lack of maintenance and missing parts, plus the gaps in skills and training of their soldiers.

We are maybe 1-2 years away from the Russian military collapsing, if it weren’t for the orange clown.

They also closed Monolith, a great studio behind e.g. FEAR amd Shadow of Mordor games. They are making all the wrong decisions, and then will wonder why they have lost to competitors.

Line must go up 📈

So what?

Some sacrifices need to be made to maximize shareholder value. Don’t forget, we’re all in this together 🌎❤️📈

At least the repair for a camera-only front is cheaper after the car crashes into a parked white bus

For me it has been this way on mobile and tablet for at least a year, and I didn’t find a way to turn it off. It gives the results in a completely random order, making older things impossible to find.

Multiple times, I had to sit down in front of a computer to find few months old emails.

Absolute garbage.

Good article. It was fundamentally not a good business model. You have to acquire new customers constantly just to keep the lights on, it’s unsustainable. Adding on top of that the expectations from investors to grow every year, and the collapse we see now is guatanteed.

I see they tried to diversify, that could have helped, but without a recurring revenue stream at the core of your business, you cannot become the big company they wanted to be.

happy chopping sounds

A good way to think about it, how would society percieve them if they were hoarding anything else at this scale?

Imagine the guy having warehouses all over the world filled with toilet paper, private security around the compound, and campaign ads to reduce real estate taxes for storage units.

Or somebody having the largest lego collection in the world, constant buying out and threatening other collectors.

It’s a mental illness.
