Gearbox Studios, developers of games like Borderlands and also publishers of stuff like the new Homeworld titles, have been bought by Embracer Group, the same Swedish company that owns THQ Nordic and Koch Media.

The acquisition makes Gearbox the companys seventh video game holding, alongside other companies like DECA and Saber Interactive.
The purchase includes plans to expand Gearboxs operations, adding new studios and staff, create new brands and go looking for more properties (like Homeworld) to buy.

EDIT:
i can't wait for his new bosses to give him the slap when he starts running his mouth saying stupid shit

then he pulls his final magic trick and disappears from the company

A mediocre developer for a mediocre publisher. Good fit.

Please let this means Randy is gonna fuck off.
he's staying on as president

it's probably too expensive to outright fire him, so they'll let him fuck up and be able to give him the boot without him getting a massive golden parachute

Hopefully they start funding Nordic more, they make decent games when they have a budget.

Good thing they didn't bother. Borderlands is literally their only thing of value and Microsoft have enough FPS franchises.
