      Embracer massively fucked over a huge raft of studios. Bought them all up and then killed projects and laid off staff after not making the (entirely unrealistic) returns they expected.

      Anything that means those studios are getting out from under Embracer is probably good.

        Duke Nukem Forever devs over in the corner hoping everyone continues to think BL3 was the worst game Gearbox ever made.

      Well considering Embracer is closing it’s studios up left and right, and cancelling projects, I’d say yes. Embracer has been extra shit this year.

      Also take two owns the borderlands IP, Gearbox has been the one developing it, all it makes sense for the two to join together.

      Yes. We should embrace it. /notsorry

      More seriously, we don’t know. Only time will tell. Take-Two will definitely be looking at redundancies, so it might not be good for all employees. For the IPs, hopefully it can’t get much worse than sitting at Embracer while the company sinks like the Titanic. But Take Two has also had layoffs and shelved projects. One can only hope for the best.
