Saber Interactive har nu købt sig selv fri fra Embracer Group, og ejes nu af et konsortium ledt af Sabers egen stifter, Matthew Karch. De var ikke offer for store fyringer igangsat af Embracer-ledelsen, men så let var det ikke for mange andre studier, der enten måtte lukke helt, eller fyre mange ansatte.
Sjovt nok forsvarer netop March Embracers ledelse i et interview med GamesIndustry, hvor han insisterer på at Embracer har forsøgt at redde så mange jobs de kunne:
"But in my mind, nobody has been guided by more of a sense of fairness and reasonableness than Lars [Wingefors]. The process that we've had to go through to terminate studios has absolutely been... it's killed us. [...] I would say Embracer tried harder than anybody to save as many jobs as it could. Look at Gearbox. Gearbox just sold, right? The employees that were within that company remained in that company until after the announcement, right? Because Lars didn't want to let anybody go, he really wanted to keep everybody. So I think he gets a bad rap."
Man ville dog let kunne argumentere for, at disse studier slet ikke behøvede at finde sig i denne position, hvis Embracer ikke havde købt dem uden at have økonomien til det. Karch mener dog ikke at det er slut for Embracer:
"But I wouldn't bet against Lars right now. He's really on top of it. I haven't heard him this confident in a long time and I think they've made the company small enough - still big, but small enough - that it's manageable... They have some great stuff that I know of in the works that's unannounced that I think people are gonna love. So I'm bullish on them."
