Non directly, they own a lot of companies and IP. A LOT. Gearbox, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Warhorse, Aspyr, Saber, THQ Nordic, Dark Horse Comics, 3D Realms, Volition, Ghost Ship Games. You can put them in the same sphere as Microsoft with all their owned companies as both were out scooping them up over the last few years.

That's a real shame they owned Coffee Stain, I liked Goat Simulator.
Don't forget Satisfactory. I really hope, this doesn't affect its development.
Did the game turn from good to bad now that you found out they aren't independent?
No, not at all. Just that there probably won't be any more Goat Simulator.
Goat Simulator 3 was released after they were acquired by Embracer.
Yeah and now that Embracer is shuttering, no more Goat Simulator lol
