Embracer has made a new round of layoffs, this time at Mythforce developer Beamdog less than 18 months after its acquisition.

Beamdog was acquired by Aspyr in April last year, whose parent company is Embracer.

Now 26 employees have been laid off, according to multiple LinkedIn posts and reported by GameDeveloper.

Are you under the impression that Embracer is doing this for the sake of "artistic integrity"?

So you're just cheering on blatant capitalistic bullshit because of your presumption of other "capitalistic" offense of a developer you know nothing about?
