Embracer's troubles continue as they may sell off Borderlands dev Gearbox

Embracer Group got a little too big it seems, and there's no such thing as too big to fail. After shutting down Volition, it appears Embracer may be about to sell off Borderlands developer Gearbox.

as usual, parasitic investment groups ruin an entire industry. The entire gaming sector seems to be stuck in a death spiral.

They were approached with offers, so if those offers were attractive, anyone would consider selling. It's possible they truly are in trouble, but alternatively, the layoffs were only related to the one deal that fell through (which is how they put it) and Volition, who haven't had a hit game in a decade. Their strategy is to put out a ton of game offerings like publishers used to rather than like 3 games filled with MTX, so if that strategy doesn't work out, I'll be very sad.
