Hi, news this morning that the Saul Zaentz Company have agreed to selling Middle-earth Enterprises to the Embracer Group (via the subsidiary Embracer Freemode).
Before you start panic mode, it appears that M-e E will remain independent and continue with its licensees. The idea is to expand the license.
The Embracer Group also bought Asmodee earlier this year.

I am writing some thoughts about the content of that press release, will post when I can.
