In 1998 a small company that went by the name of Looking Glass Studios came out with a title no one would ever forget. Their release Thief: The Dark Project changed the face of stealth-action games and made many gamers envy the life of a medieval thief. Garret was the thief you took control of during your dark and mysterious adventures though the medieval landscape. Garret was clever, swift, masculine and extraordinarily brave; who didn’t want to be Garret when this game came out?
From outer space to stealing in Europe, The Epic Games Store has two free games you might like.
Yeah, they should be renamed to Embarrassment Group at this point. Bought every studio they could lay their hands on just to fire people from them, close them or cancel their games.
100 % The CEO is a PIG and it showcases how Embarrassment Group has always been a sham of a company
within the game industry !
Seems like the most turnover is being generated by companies making acquisitions and cuts.
It's like they don't know their behinds from their elbows.
UPS just signed all their drivers to a huge contract.
In order to afford the contract, UPS is laying off management.
That's how all of this should work. Lay off management. That's how a business can be more "efficient."
I know, but they laid off 97 employees and canceled my most anticipated release from their studio.
Bro f$&k Embracer. How do companies not even understand basic concepts like “don’t count your chickens before they hatch”? And now all these peoples lives are upended because of it.
Fkn trash. They had no business buying up all those studios with house money. I been waiting so long for the next Deus Ex. All these large scale consolidations are bleeding out the industry one at a time.
They were banking on Saudi money. When the Saudi Government backed down everything fell apart.
Embracer Group has reportedly canceled a new Deus Ex game after two years in development and laid off some staff.
Who even cancels a new Deus Ex game? Are they stupid or something? Its Deus Ex ffs!
Embracer is now acting worse than Square Enix!
Thief and Metal Gear Solid both really revolutionized game play.
Thief being a First Person Tactical shooter just like Metal Gear Solids third person tactical shooter both are true masterpieces.
1998 was an amazing year as both were released just a few months apart.
There aren't alot of stealth games, and the market is wide open....
So...WTF?
Edit:
Now that I read the article, Apparently there is a Thief 4 in development now...so my bad.
And its about time.

I pulled out my 3 set collection and started playing again yesterday. Still on the first one. I can't believe how awesome this game is 12 years after its initial release. Amazing. I can't wait for the 4th one.
