Do you feel that pages like The Adventure Company (indexed under Embracer Group) should exist?

Embracer Group should get rid of "under construction" sign regardless because we don't do it like that.

↑↑ I don't understand this question. The Adventure Company is a creator, unlike Embracer (the former is a publisher, the latter is just a holding company).

Yesterday I was thinking that if you think the companies listed under Embracer should have Creator/ pages, so should Embracer. But today I'm still thinking that that Embracer should exist but maybe under a different namespace...

^ That makes no sense whatsoever.

If the group doesn't actually create anything, then they shouldn't have a creator page.

imho if they're just shareholders and haven't made anything, I don't see much value in the page.

A quick google search shows that the Embracer Group is a Swedish holding company that owns controlling interests in several game developers. Looks like they buy up defunct gaming companies (THQ is one of their better known assets).

They do not develop or publish games themselves, therefore they are not a creator. The individual companies they control are the creators instead.

[self-thumped because I realized that Embracer subsidiaries themselves develop games]

It seems like the consensus is to cut the page. Should I cutlist it?

I would vote yes, move any valid information to the individual studio pages (provided they exist).

Should I also remove the link on Sandbox.Video Game Companies? Because that page in general seems abandoned.

Since the page is cut and not as a stub, it shouldn't be linked. Since it's not a personal sandbox it shouldn't be there either.

The sandbox was brought up here, my suggestion was to put into into TLP Yard.

I have completed the dewicking. This query can probably be locked now.
