Square Enix Sells Crystal, Eidos and Square Montreal
Along with their IPs including Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, Deus Ex, and Thief to Embracer Group for $300Mill. A surprise but a welcome one. Very welcome one.
How's it feel to have your favorite game companies owned next to Fox News?

There's that word again: blockchain. You know your company doesn't have any real plan if the next words out of its mouth are vague statements about blockchain, AI, and the Cloud.
Just add in The Environment while you're at it.

300 million is an absolute steal for this. Apparently this was alrgely due to the Marvel games being massive bombs that cause SE hundreds of millions but even still.
And it really shows how absolutely awful a deal the Bungie sale was.

To say Avengers was a mistake is an understatement but one I'm happy with if it meant getting out of SE's clutches. Now hanging with other studios like THQ Nordic and Saber Interactive who have a knack for remasters between Destroy All Humans and helping with the Halo Anniversaries, I'm curious what they'll try doing with these IPs like Legacy of Kain.
Did the GotG not do well sales wise? It got pretty good reception from what I understand.

It was the video game equivalent of Solo: it was never going to succeed because of the shit that preceded it.
It did get very good word out mouth and was pretty well regarded by most who played it. It just had to come after Avengers, which was/is a ****ing disaster.
