    Based Saber. Probably, saving AAA game devs single handedly.

      More like grabbing a bargain; When Embracer bought Saber it cost them more than $500 million. They sold it to Beacon (who are basically just a bunch of investors and one of the Saber founders) for just under $250 million, and are now stacking up extras from the Embracer spending spree while they still can.

      On a similar note, who do we reckon is buying Gearbox? My money is on Take 2, because who would be stupid enough to buy Gearbox (Embracer aside) when the Borderlands publishing rights are permanently in 2K’s hands?

        Gearbox has Duke Nukem, not that they’re doing anything with it.

        you are reading Wikipedia in a wrong language. russian wiki page lists all russia and belarus offices, if that is your source.

          It lists several subsidiary offices, including Russian, Armenian, Swedish, British, Belorussian, and Portuguese branches. It’s still headquartered in the United States.

    It’s a shame they couldn’t save free radical or Volition, but maybe it was for the best
