   TIL Embracer Group's wholesale absorption of game studios included Roblox properties (or at least one, Welcome to Bloxburg).

   Brace for the cries of anguished tweens when they shutter them in the name of cost cutting, I guess.

     @devlin true, those micro translations (hardly micro. 30€ for a gamepass is far from unusual) are a license to print money.

     But cashing out is complicated, with punitive fees, so you never know.
