For nylig blev det afsløret at Embracer nu har solgt Gearbox, samt dertilhørende IP'er og støttestudier, til Take-Two, og dermed har CEO Lars Wingefors nu slået fast overfor deres investorer, at deres restrukturering er forbi.
Denne blev igangsat i forbindelse med en afblæst milliardinvestering fra Saudi-Arabien, og har resulteret i at adskillige studielukninger, aflysninger og salg. Dog slår Wingefors endegyldigt fast, at de ikke planlægger at udvide deres forretning med flere studiekøb lige foreløbig. Via Rock Paper Shotgun siger han dette:
"Looking to do more [mergers and acquisitions] deals - I think it's way too early to start talking about restarting the M&A engines again. Now we are in the late phases of the consideration into the future of the group, and that's our highest focus and priority - how we set up ourselves and structure ourselves, and utilize our assets we have within the group, and have them work together, and how we leverage them better working together, utilizing different functions, I think that's our focus right now, to increase profitability and cashflow generation, by simply making better products and games."
Det er måske meget godt, det sidste års tid taget i betragtning.
