Crytek is worth maybe 50 million USD, or not even that.

Crysis maps in my PUBG? Let's do it!

Crytek is worth maybe 50 million USD, or not even that.

They have their own original IPs and game engine, also studios in 3 different locations
They're worth more than Insomnica for example who were bought mainly for their talent and game developers.

Europe so horny for that China money.....

We are already offering citizenship to John Cena

Hm, reminds of Operation Flashpoint or something, used by the american military.

Bohemia Interactive receives strategic minority investment from Tencent | Blog | Bohemia Interactive

Good thing that people were roasting CEO about it, but since they are public company, it wasn't solely his decision. Back than it was in national news

I sometimes why a company like MS doesn't do such small investments and rather prefer acquisitions while Tencent or Sony do both.

As long as it isn't anti-consumer Microsoft who would buy Crytek to take away future Crytek games from Playstation players then I'm fine.

Tencent just wants to absorb everyone, Jesus Christ.

Yeah it would be preferable, however in this case it's clear why Tencent do it, since some fork of Arma is used for military training. Arma is basically Operation Flashpoint v. 2+

no thanks
All their games is so bad...

Hunt showdown is the best online shooter ever, try it if you can. (On PC)

 

[KAOS]

Don't allow it MS!

 

[Mr Moose]

That's more than Insomniac lol.

 

[Dad_Of_Chicken]

What's Crytek value nowadays? What's left of their Crysis-era talent? Is there anything to salvage?

 

[Denton]

Fuck Tencent, Fuck CCP, here is hoping Crytek will not sell.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

Is Crytek worth anything near $300M though?
Especially now that Amazon made their CryEngine's fork Lumberyard completely free and open source?

Of course, if this is true I have little doubt the Yerli brothers will happily sell it for that amount. Just 4 years ago they couldn't even pay their employees' salaries and were begging for investment everywhere..
I find it hard to believe Hunt Showdown and Crysis Remastered made them enough money to pay off those debts.
