Embracer have released their latest interim report, along with a statement on their plans to spin off Coffee Stain Group and go through a rebrand to Fellowship Entertainment.
Yeah, I’m calling myself “cautiously pessimistic” on this one. Coffee Stain’s leadership has proven they know what the hell they’re doing, but being directly under the thumb of shareholders going forward is a powerful force for enshittification. Being based in Sweden, where they have strong regulations on workers rights should be a good balance, but we’ll just have to wait and see how all the powers balance out.
Honestly if we only got one good game, satisfactory out of CS, I’m happy. I don’t need a sequel, or anything, it has been a great game, and if the studio goes downhill I’ll be happy with this one.
