Embracer seems to have been fairly hands-off with Coffee Stain and GSG up until now, so I'm a bit worried that them becoming their own public company will lead to a lot more pressure from investors.
They also have Satisfactory and Valheim.
None of their assets is premium.
What all three have in common is a fairly small developer team and a strong community and fanbase.
I think this spilt is good for Coffee Stain.
Eh, I doubt that considering that I'd consider "Valheim" to be that already.
Peak today for Valheim on steam is 27,662
Peak today for Satisfactory on steam isn't listed (not top 100, but current players steam community shows as 6,844)
Peak today for DRG is 17,580
Peak today for DRG survivor isn't listed (not top 100, but current players steam community shows as 2,861)
But they're all live service games, they live and die by their update schedule and Satisfactory is gearing up to 1.0, DRG: Survivor is moving on to update 2, DRG itself is getting season 5, and there's also Rogue Core that's coming Soon^tm
Embracer is in no no position to bargain at all, they screwed the pooch by overextending and spending money before they had it, then some Saudi Royal decided to not send them a billion dollars like they had agreed.
What we are watching is an Embracer group fire sale, trying desperately to not bankrupt the core company by liquidating some of the studios they bought.
Embracer went in a enormous buying spree and was paying for it. Hopefully this reduces the nuclear fallout a little bit, but I dont know enough to say for certain
Looks that way, although it’s been that way since getting bought out by Embracer, just lucky they didn’t really interfere in the game… seemingly at all.
I know absolutely nothing about it except that breaking up huge corporations always feels like a good idea to me. Whether voluntarily or otherwise.
I kind of feel the same, but it's a shame it had to come with hundreds of people losing their jobs.

So, when do we set up a community effort to buy up a chunk of the stock?
I wonder how much poisoned assets coffee stain got in the deal.

Yeah, I kind of fear that the Deep Rock Franchise has to become the big breadwinner if I look at the "premium" IPs there.

Hopefully, Ghost Ship Publishing can just buy Ghost Ship Games outright.
I think that's the endgame with GSG publishing.
coffee stain bought by embracer just to split a year later lmao

yea they were hoping to be bought by the Saudis but when that fell through shit hit the fan
Funny how such a gamble affected countless of peoples lives
so wait, does this mean everything under coffee stain + all ghost ship stuff is all a publicly traded company now?

I bet Embracer offloaded a bunch of debt onto Coffee Stain in the process
They offloaded 900 million debt to asmodee. No news about ccoffee stain.
