Even simpler, just having that IP denies the competition access to it. In their eyes that creates value and at the end of the day that's all that matters to these companies holding IP. They can just sit on it.
I got the sense Embracer got the things it got specifically because they were being sat on, creating no value for anyone.
That's certainly a factor but only if they are working on other IPs that might compete.
