Basically Microsoft just told Embracer to keep them warm for them lol

They bought them for peanuts also which makes me think they’re gonna make a small fortune when they inevitably sell them off to MS

I don't particularly care one way or the other, so long as people get a good game out of it, but I know troll bait when I see it, and that tidbit was it.
