Sacred Symbols, Episode 304 | Too Big to Succeed

Embracer Group's downfall will be long-studied as an example of capitalistic hubris you rarely see, even in our ruthlessly capitalist society. Following mass layoffs, spin-offs, and studio closures, Embracer will ultimately split into three smaller, more manageable entities, instead of acting as a lone unit with more employee...

Welcome to an unusual episode of Constellation. It is I, Colin!
