A sharp opinion piece criticizing Embracer Group chair Lars Wingefors for his open letter defending the company's record amid years of mass layoffs, studio closures, and project cancellations. The author recounts a 2022 incident where Embracer demanded editorial approval over a journalist's interview, then dissects Wingefors' revisionist framing of the restructuring as responsible leadership. The piece condemns Wingefors for showing no accountability while signaling intent to resume aggressive M&A activity despite the damage already caused to thousands of game industry workers.
