All the sources are in Swedish, but it looks like one person has been arrested for insider trading, and computers are being seized from their offices.


Razzia mot spelföretaget Starbreeze

Glad Dead by Daylight devs managed to buy themselves out of Starbreeze's clutches, so they don't have to deal with this.

Wow, I can get that being a serious crime but does it really warrant a raid? Though when I think raid I think 'american swat team crashing in with rock music in the background' :X

Think they did it so they could get a hold of their computers so they don't get rid of incriminating evidence.

The "raid" actually looks like this lol:

They just filed for reconstruction and will likely go bankrupt.

Think it's fair to say, just by sheer IP and workforce some publisher is going to snag them up.
THQ Nordic is buying like crazy these days.

Can only see THQ Nordic going for the IP if no-one buys it initially. Overtime it will reduce in value, that's when THQ will buy

It's a shame, but who knows who has left since then or how management shifted. Well, we can see how management shifted at least if they're in deep financial shit.
