Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors said that the current reduction in workforce at the company and across the industry is "something that everyone needs to get through," later adding that the group's strategy has been to cut the things that have "the lowest chance of success going forward" and to only keep "the most iconic studios."

Nordic Games is talking a lot of shit for a company that fired a lot of their employees and killed their underling studios before the entire firing craze of 2023 and 2024. Hey, hows that deal with the Saudis going again? Oh, right, it fucking isn't because you staked your entire companies future on it and they decided they wanted out.
