Embracer CEO admits "I deserve a lot of criticism"​


How does one say “No shit Sherlock!” In corporate?

Reminds me of that time that guy from Blizzard got up on stage and said that he 'admits' to 'not doing the right thing' and never specifically apologizes OR mentions ANYTHING to apologize for, just that "we should do better" in a somber tone and proceeds to do NOTHING to actually rectify the multiple terrible actions the company took.

Essentially, this guy is trying to drum up sympathy and "hey look, WE SEE YOUR CONCERNS and you should continue to look at our products fondly and invest in us because we're going to change things in the future"
 
they're splitting up the company into 3 different companies, but there's also this:

The largest shareholder, Lars Wingefors AB, intends to form a new long-term ownership structure, including the current holdings in Embracer Group (approximately 20% of capital and 40% of votes), and will remain a long-term, active, committed and supportive owner of all three entities.

So the the guy whose failing at running 1 company is now going to be failing to run 3 seperate companies.

I'mma short it.

And this whole thing is being paid for by loading Asmodee with $800M in debts.
 
I don't see why this company deserves to survive after ruining the Tomb Raider franchise. Lara Croft doesn't raid tombs.... and she got a breast reduction. It also seems like they went the Sonic route and gave her friends. What is wrong with these clowns?

That's a multiplayer tabletop RPG. There kind of needs to be more than just Lara. Also, it features tomb raiding.
 
You think I made this stuff up?

You really need to learn to provide sources to shit in your initial post. Don’t expect other people to do the work for you, especially when it’s something not quickly found on official sites.

Anyway, I mostly agree with what the original source said. That all seems like a bit much for Tomb Raider. For all their storytelling faults, I liked that the first two games of the reboot trilogy were willing to portray Lara as a generally good person that’s still willing to do whatever is required to complete her goals.

Guessing its this: Shadows of Truth, 4 diverse characters are tasked with hunting down Lara Croft, infiltrating her mansions and stealing-back the artifacts she stole from indigenous peoples and making her pay physically, socially and financially for slaughtering all that local wildlife in her greed-driven pursuits. Then in the end-game, going to those countries to return the items to their indigenous peoples for rewards of kindness and generosity. I wonder if they will do a Shadows of Truth 2, where those same indigenous peoples form corrupt governments and sell the returned artifacts to the highest-paying bidder on the black market so they can procure 3rd rate weapons from Russia to wage savage wars of conquest on their indigenous neighbors??

Maybe sign up for the play test and find out.

Ewwwwww no thanks. Tomb Raider games never clicked with me, because even back in the day I kept asking myself "Why is this chick doing an Indiana Jones mission........in hot pants and a tank top?".
The games were pretty innovative for their time. The puzzle solving and combat was like nothing before it. The problem was that as Tomb Raider progressed to 2 and 3, it got more flashy and less about puzzle solving. The games were still good, just not as good as the original. Having a female character that ran around in hot pants and a tank top was brilliant. Imagine if they just put a generic Indiana Jones looking guy instead? Lara Croft had the sex appeal that brought men over. Not only that but a female character that woman can relate to. I'm not a fan of the new Tomb Raider games, because they seem to have lost that puzzle solving mechanics like in the original games. They do have them, but they seem to focus more on combat than puzzle solving. The only reason I played them was because the Lara Croft model is a huge step up from the 90's variants. I think there was a time when consoles got a more improved version than the PC. Sex appeal works.

I'm the guy that preferred the combat to the puzzle solving games. Example, the only Prince of Persia game I enjoyed (beyond the first one, back in the early 80's on either Apple or Commodore....just thinking about that made bats and dust fly out of my ears just now it's so long ago) was the one where you played as the dark prince and had to time travel back and forth, similar to what Titanfall 2 made you do....in mid-parkour....that game people mostly *disliked* because it favored combat over parkour and puzzle solving, even though I found that game fun to think my way through: aka how do I get from down here to waaaaay up there. Assassins Creed games scratch that itch today.

I truly never understood the Lara Croft "Digital Sex Symbol" thing...that, honestly, creeped me out a bit.....like when someone would comment on Lara my initial reaction was sorta like "...wtf is wrong with you, dude? You have Tomb Raider? You have the Internet? You have the Netscape Browser? Type "TITS" or something.....you're welcome. Stop pixel-peeping".
<shrug>. Dunno, not my thing.....
