I didn't realize Embracer owned Gearbox. I thought it was still 2K.

2k never owned Gearbox. They were the publisher Gearbox used, Embracer bought the Studio in 2021 before that they were independent.
My hope is that people leave and make a new studio and some new IP's. These large publishers buying everything and then running into the ground due to endess growth is tiring.
I hope Risk of Rain makes it out of this alright.
Gearbox only owns the IP, not the studio. So although ROR could die with gearbox, theres nothing stopping the dev from making a spiritual sucessor.
Pipe dream, but sell Gearbox and try to keep the Duke Nukem IP.
Honestly, I'd completely forgotten that Embracer had bought out Gearbox. Curious to see who ends up acquiring them, if anyone actually does. Also have to wonder just how many studios Embracer is going to end up selling off or shutting down by the end of this.
