Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch has defended Embracer’s acquisition strategy, following its split from the Swedish conglomerate.
Last month Embracer sold its Saber assets and the companies separated. In a new interview with IGN, Karch said it was his suggestion that Saber leave Embracer, which he described as “bittersweet”.
Embracer is undergoing a restructuring programme after a period of mass acquisition – Karch compares the company to Pac-man “gobbling up everything on the screen” – and has laid off eight percent of staff. Yet despite garnering a negative reputation in the industry as a result, Karch remains on “very good terms” with Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors.
