Embracer: A Funny Business - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

[@TrooperSixtyFour]

playing the moral high ground card of pulling out of Russia only because they lost a major deal with Saudi Arabia is pretty funny

[@beebomcgroober9316]

That's exactly what I was thinking. This is the same group that was willing to take Saudi cash and now they act like they're pulling out of Russia for moral reasons... 2 years after the invasion by the way!

[@cosmosofinfinity]

Embracer embraces video game developers in the same way Blackwater embraces Iraqi civilians

[@goranisacson2502]

TEKNIKLY you could say they're pulling out of an unstable market rather than an IMMORAL market. Both Russia and Saudi Arabia are not lead by good people, but at least at a glance it seems like Saudi's are ruled by far more competent people who can create a stable market to to business in- if you're talking to your shareholders that's probably something that sounds good to their ears... man I'm good at thinking like a heartless money-maker. Maybe I could be embracers new ceo!

[@bulkbogan6235]

Embracer? I barely know her!

[@jimbojimjs]

Thank you Tandy

[@plufim]

My "there was nothing legally funny about this deal" tshirt is raising a lot of questions answered by the shirt

[@fabiofabiobio]

Getting "Steve from Blue's Clues" vibes from Kyle's outfit choice today

[@TheFranciscoFm]

I guess "Blues Clues Host" is this seasons style

[@PandaJerk007]

And I'm digging it! please keep it up Kyle :)

[@brekfastjack]

Really should've had my handy dandy notebook out for this one.

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

Honestly my favourite background yet

[@WooWooTime999]

Reminds me of The Final Bosman

[@KIager]

Has a very "kid in the ER" feel.

[@rorycarzon]

wow, Toys for Bob are going indie? The toys are back in town!

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Yeah, they just had to buy themselves out of Activision's death grip forcing them to work on Call of Duty

[@masterowl123]

@@rudeboyspodcast huh?

[@neojd]

Achievement unlocked: Escaped the Embrace

[@Pwl9771]

Kyle is unironically the best video game journalist yo

[@BooBanana]

The transition for Kyle becoming a true games journalist is almost complete.

To be fair, he did things like this while he was directing the Easy Alies and the Gamtrailers's podcast.

[@BooBanana]

@ he’s way more thorough with this show than his previous stuff. He’s dancing closer to the investigative journalist line more with every video, and I Approve!

[@smellslikeus]

I love the color pallet of Kyle’s wardrobe and the background is grounding

[@Hagel8427]

For context in Sweden there is ongoing controversy regarding Embracers CEO owning real estate that he leses to swedish military industry while Embracer simultaneously is the company in Sweden that earns the most money from Russia. The risk being that Russia exploits this relationship to gain confidential infomation from the swedish military industry. Basicly the military industry companies could se fit to end their lease and the ceo would lose alot of income from the military industry that is currently booming.

[@ntsakomathebula4840]

I think major gaming ponzi schemes are going to be uncovered, embracer group and beacon interactive are the first red flags. And no I'm not talking about kickstarters, I'm talking AA and AAA level. I'm so excited

[@celfhelp]

oh thank god australia is still embraced

[@ihaveallthecoins2785]

Horn sound effect placement 8/10.

[@wesleyackerman8211]

But why would freezing the back of the van make the horn go off, that's a 2/10 for me.

[@michaelmoratto]

Love these regular Friday uploads!

[@FranciscoLinares-pe7lm]

My coworkers thought I was watching mainstream financial news =)

[@LongForgottenOne]

My favourite internet show ever. Keep it up Boss!!!

[@theoutbackpandas8641]

This is Steve-coded

[@xdan0x]

Embracer is Headquartered in Sweden. That week Sweden joined NATO who famously aren't fans of Russia (see trade embargos)

[@SweetLuups]

What a good episode of Blues Clues

[@NileSings]

"Don't worry, Australia is still Embraced😈" is so ominous😅

[@Bibliofish]

A clue!

[@StephenDorman]

Immediately after this episode ended, Will Arnett started selling me caramel Reese’s.

[@cheesewombatTV]

Press Release me from this Embracer nightmare, Kyle

[@thereptilescorpio]

Excellent work Kyle!

[@grimya]

I played coop Will Rock with my friends in a cyber cafe back in early 2000's!!! That game was insanely fun, it is one of my best memories related to gaming. A while ago I tried it again and found out it was still as fun and ridiculous as I remembered. I can't recommend it enough!!

[@gxgear]

Ming-Na Wen in Elden Ring is the GOAT of unrelated celebs in ads.

[@Synathidy]

Embracer WASN'T in Greenland? What an eye-opening, informative map. Very surprising they weren't in Greenland. If they're a Swedish group, they should have found their way over there via boat by now. Get to work crossing the sea, slackers!

[@BoringKate]

A rare Will Rock mention!!! I love Will Rock!!! A solid Serious Sam style shooter!!!

[@deggle]

I'm gonna need a white board for this one, Kyle

[@SeaToSkyImages]

I KNEW that honk was coming at the end.

[@Sebastian-qo2rt]

Perfect Honk

[@itsjoynow]

We in the Blue's Clues arc yall 😊

[@melon3109]

@3:43 HE DID IT AGAIN this absolutely nine days madness

[@cashnelson2306]

I agree op

[@HKT-4300]

That list of retained companies sounds like the names of shit Kyle usually makes up, but it's insane to know these are in fact, real.

[@stanleyurivosich7007]

The pronunciation of demiurge fucking sent my sides

[@silk3sm00th]

"Bye bye, Peru." Cold.

[@crazeeruler]

My first name is Karch and it was unsettling to hear Kyle say it like 200 more times than I normally ever hear it even in my day to day life Also I liked the video

[@timothyoswaldtei3047]

"Beacon: Empowering the Digital Warrior" What a time to be alive.

[@UnfinishedWorkz]

I didn't know Bruce Wayne had a podcast.

[@finchharper4647]

Embracer Group, The hug of death.

[@FoxJupi]

Your outfit looks like it's from Blues Clues this episode 😂

[@ReddTurtl]

I'm digging the new host. Was wondering what Steve did after he left Blues Clues.

[@Dumb_Woof]

Was gonna call this episode boring but the after credits was worth the embracer jargon. 10/10

[@KwingF]

Love the press release sleuthing

[@TheProfessor234]

I hope we get more chances for Kyle to read out video game studio names.

[@francescamagali]

i see steve moved on from blue clues to talk about gaming news

[@mxduki]

Ron Funches is the voice of King Shark in the Harley Quinn show, so he isn't an entirely unrelated celebrity.

[@TheMegaSackman]

That was indeed a very funny business story,

[@porrepokemon]

The tweet in the back should be readable

[@strawstack]

Video resolution is almost high enough for me to read the comment posted in the background... almost

[@TheRedWisdom]

For the top list of "ads featuring a completely unrelated celebrity" I need to nominate the persona 3 reload trailer with Aidan Gallagher and I am frankly offended that it was not included in this video.

[@dragonslayer7327]

Wow, I actually played Will Rock so of course I knew the trailer song lol

[@kodorogames]

I genuinely thought that the song for the trailer was gonna be I Wanna Rock, it came first to my head when reading the title Will Rock. I don't know why, it works better than We Will Rock You.

[@rezamosleh4561]

I need more Rebirth's stream Kyle.

[@Mangoverboard1]

Bloomberg sub so worth it

[@TectonicImprov]

Where does the Armored Core 6 Karl Urban ad slot into your power ranking

[@defordefor9865]

So it means that a former CEO with a help from some investors took (almost) all valuable parts of the company, established Beacon Interactive, and let Embracer to die with the remnants. Not shady at all. I think it is called the financial tunneling.

[@rinaldus4512]

I think these episodes with Kyle just talking about video game publisher deals and industry structuring, where he just pours over articles back to back, are probably my least favorite episodes of Delayed Input. Just start to tune out after awhile. I say it with all love, Kyle!

[@wtftobby]

This honk almost didn't make it, few!

[@Fellipe2k5]

Brazil still Embracer \o/

[@lukemoonwalker8444]

Ok but what's the MegaMan news?

[@cosmosofinfinity]

Just some collab stuff happening in Street Fighter 6 and Exoprimal

[@jzilla1234]

Kyle Will only talk about embracer when the algorithms says so

[@wesleyackerman8211]

Why did freezing the back of the van make the horn honk? that was a weird audio choice. Guess we'll just blame Sweet Baby Inc. some more.

[@OTizzle_]

I love my Russian devs from St. Petersburg (FL)!

[@___IG]

Press release me

[@bandanaboy64]

releeeeeasseee meee

[@M00SHTY]

is this a theme hospital style backdrop?

[@capcaveman86]

We just got a letter, wonder who its from!?

[@chrissesock4245]

Does Kyle enjoy a nice spaghetti dinner

[@caleb281]

can't believe Beacon got mad head in the split. seems like the clear winner.

[@kpsk8031]

It seems to me that Embracer Group have to pay a lot of salaries and don't make much revenue.

[@WackoWambo]

This is a good tldr

[@mvandevander]

I felt I needed to point out that Saber Interactive was founded in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and not in Saint Petersburg, Florida. And therefore this is not an oxford comma situation. I mean maybe I'm missing a subtle joke here, but if so then I had to be the idiot to point it out. :D

[@AjayESharma]

Where does Mortal Kombat 1 with Dave Bautista rank?

[@blakeapher2178]

Two ending honk eps in a row?

[@brentclouse7791]

Is this the Blue’s Clues arc, or the rugby polo arc?

[@wc999]

such silly names for big companies

[@dirge808]

Funny story...a long time ago I worked at a large chain music store and sold Matt Karch a guitar amp...

[@keyboard_g]

Embracer made cuts and killed an in progress Deus Ex game. They can forever go to hell.

[@Moonsbro]

Kyle is giving blues clues

[@truckerj.775]

Bought tons of shares lately… ask me in a couple of years 😎

[@MonsterMJ]

i hate this group so much omg they killed so many teams and jobs i cant handle this thx for this episode kyle

[@jgrocket]

I guessed "Cradle Will Rock." Oh well.

[@SIXminWHISTLE]

I don't know if it will be relevant to DD2, but that default looking guy looks the same as the default character that you play in the tutorial of DD1, who was a previous Arisen. Nothing to do with the narration in the video though.

[@tikazombie37]

where's armored core 6 trailer with Karl Urban on the ranking?????

[@thelemetric]

*cries in deus ex B-tier AAA

[@lewiep]

Ron Funches isn't unrelated. He voices King Shark in the Harley Quinn show.

[@WarrenEBB]

so much rage, Monsieur. nice! It's weird how journalism is almost dead - and comedians are now shouldering the burden. (of laying out the fishy facts for a fun/funny payoff)

[@Siresly]

Mega Fan Mans.

[@oscaroonie]

Great look all u missing is your dog blue 😂

[@FinnyThePoo]

Well know I just gotta know where "Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon - Official Live Action Trailer (ft. Karl Urban)" ranks

[@turbowolfmarkiii]

Whats young Bill Gates doin?

[@ZekeAxel]

Will Rock was a Serious Sam clone. And it was nice.

[@76_SPZL]

Best of luck to Beacon Interactive or whatever.

[@thedurtylemur2282]

Kyle HAS to have the car horn beeper on for an interview at some point. No funny business.

[@rayman1900]

Oh I see that Kyle is sporting the Mark Cerny look!

[@superbadisfunny]

This is...

[@heroicgangster9981]

I don't blame toys for bob for separating from Microsoft but still willing to do partnerships with Microsoft. They need the IP they were able to make good games on before, while also not being a Microsoft studio because Microsoft hates gaming with the decisions they make! ^O^

[@EHeroClayman]

My boy Kyle is looking like Mark Cerny. That's a good thing. Not so good is what Embracer group being greedy. Moral is don't be greedy .

[@roc_lyons]

you look like the next blues clues host.
