Based Saber. Probably, saving AAA game devs single handedly.

- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

More like grabbing a bargain; When Embracer bought Saber it cost them more than $500 million. They sold it to Beacon (who are basically just a bunch of investors and one of the Saber founders) for just under $250 million, and are now stacking up extras from the Embracer spending spree while they still can.
On a similar note, who do we reckon is buying Gearbox? My money is on Take 2, because who would be stupid enough to buy Gearbox (Embracer aside) when the Borderlands publishing rights are permanently in 2K's hands?
Gearbox has Duke Nukem, not that they're doing anything with it.
saber interactive is a russian company. 4A Games is Kyiv-based studio. this cannot be a rescue.
Absolute fucking yikes. Holy hell...
Source? According to Wikipedia they're American.
you are reading Wikipedia in a wrong language. russian wiki page lists all russia and belarus offices, if that is your source.
It lists several subsidiary offices, including Russian, Armenian, Swedish, British, Belorussian, and Portuguese branches. It's still headquartered in the United States.
for me this makes them russian. I'm from Kyiv, Ukraine.
It's a shame they couldn't save free radical or Volition, but maybe it was for the best...
