Saber is actually rescuing more studios from Embracer than was announced - and that includes Metro dev 4A (archive.is)

saber interactive is a russian company. 4A Games is Kyiv-based studio. this cannot be a rescue.

Saber interactive is based in Florida ... So I can see the confusion (😉) but no, they're not Russians

It originally did employ some Russian artists though it seems/wouldn't be shocking if there was still a relationship there.

you are reading Wikipedia in a wrong language. russian wiki page lists all russia and belarus offices, if that is your source.

So they have some studios in Russia and Belarus, how does that make them Russian? They also have to studios in Denmark and Sweden, I guess that makes them Scandinavian.

for me - yes. I'm from Kyiv, Ukraine.

It does list Saber Belarus, Saber St. Petersburg, and Stuntworks even in the English page. There are plenty of non-Russian subsidiary studios.

You're right in the sense they do have some presence there though I guess. I'm not sure what the extent of operation of those offices would be at this point given sanctions.

I can definitely understand not wanting to take any chances with supporting Russia since you said you're from Ukraine.

That said, might be a bit more correct to call them a Russia supporting company vs a Russian company going forward.
