Det har været svært for Embracer at komme på ret køl i løbet af det seneste års tid, efter at en skæbnesvanger investoraftale faldt igennem, og virksomheden pludselig mærkede konsekvensen af deres vilde ekspandering.
Nu koster det også blandt lederne, for COO Egil Strunke har, via en pressemeddelelse, trukket sig fra Embracer efter hvad han selv kalder "et svært år".
"Last week I left Embracer Group as COO, and it's with mixed feelings I am parting ways this global company phenomenon, rooted in Karlstad, Sweden. On one hand I'm grateful for having had the chance to work with the one-of-a-kind [CEO] Lars Wingefors and all the other AMAZING colleagues (too many to mention!) which I will be sad to leave. On the other hand excited about the opportunities that lie ahead - starting and building my own company: Strunke Games."
Ja, Strunke starter sin egen udgiver, men det vides ikke helt hvad de konkrete planer er endnu. Han siger dog også i meddelelsen, at han forventer at Embracer kommer styrket ud af situationen:
"Although the last year has been tough, in line with general market changes and industry consolidation, I am confident that Embracer will emerge stronger and with a long and bright future ahead of it."
