Another drop of the axe by Embracer Group, this time landing on Danish 3D Realms. A lot of people, including core devs, will be looking for work asap. (twitter.com)

I'm starting a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that the embracer group became the "embracer group" to embrace small devs and then kill them off. This company keeps killing perfectly functional studios.

they got greedy with money, then a big saudi deal fell through and now they're in the hole big time killing stuff off to save their asses.

And people say monopolising things under one company isn't a problem these days...
