10% is a pretty big start for a hostile takeover, I made a snide remark the other week about the hedge fund in question only owning a 1% stake but I think that actually puts them in like the top 5 of individual share control. The Guillemot family owns 15% but it's split between several family members (for example their failure of a CEO Yves Guillemot owns .5%) so the largest single shareholder is actually Tencent who, amusingly enough, controls 10%.
I could see Tencent opposing the takeover because they'll undoubtedly lose a ton of money being bought out now compared to whatever the stock price was when they bought their 10% but on the other hand who knows what will happen if they're still holding the bag when Ubisoft declares bankruptcy. Which isn't that absurd a proposition given the state of the global economy, the game development industry in particular, and the fact that after 5 straight years of falling share prices they just dove another 17% when they announced they were delaying this piece of shit til February.

Then sell off and let someone who actually gives a fuck do an updated MM RPG. Dragon Age shouldn't be over MM in terms of RPG relevance.

Ayo hold up.
People at Ubisoft were getting reported to HR for putting exclamation points in their emails?

SBI came in for their 7 million dollar diversity sweep. (Of which the founders of SB Inc are ex Ubisoft Montreal employees.)

After 25 years in Montréal. Probably All videogames related persons in the city, province and country worked at Ubisoft. Ex Ubi employees probably represent a decent chunk of most game studios around the world. There are like 15k peoples currently working in the industry in Montreal?
I went to a crime podcast convention that my GF like 2 weeks ago and one of the guy of that podcast used to work at Ubi.
I don't know the founders of that company(Just looked them up), none of my games are on the list. Learned about this on the late side when some co-workers were speaking about it in the open.

Basically what we need from Ubisoft is to get back to making creative titles, stay out of politics and DEI rubbish, and get back to form before Bankruptcy.
I look back fondly of the 1999-2003 era where games like the Original Beyond Good and Evil came out, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and Cat/Mouse 2v2 multiplayer with mercs and spies and the Chaos Theory sequel (I mean, that was fantastic) and SOLID military games before it got mucked up - Original Ghost Recon and the original Rainbow Six. Even Rainbow Six Vegas in 2006 was solid.
I have no idea why Ubi has appropriated political activism in their games, and I am sure with your role there you have no power over it - but it would behoove your company to stop. Start taking risks and be creative again, keep revisionist idiots/DEI appropriations out of the games (Fire SB Inc - as it is completely obvious they are cratering your company) and somehow get that message up and completely revitalize the org.
Sweet Baby Inc needs to be purged. Everywhere.
I think in Outlaws they used the line "I got this!" "We got this!" like 56,402,203 times and completely bastardized the main protagonists looks by design. That shit needs to stop - and to do that, fire SB Inc.
I literally facepalmed when I bought the Beyond good and evil HD remaster for Xbox, and before I started playing - it threw up a splash screen of "Dialogue in this game is a period of it's time and may offend people" Seriously??? NOTHING In the game is offensive from a dialogue standpoint. It was well written, voice acting was fantastic, and whoever was responsible for the decision to place that warning up should be taken out to pasture with the rest of the SB Inc trash.

It's because DEI and all of it's ilk is cancer, and like a malignant cancer, if you allow even a small bit of it inside of you it will metastasize and become beyond your control, eventually leading to your death.
Either you practice "preventative medicine" and never let something like DEI into your company,
-or -
Like many companies that got caught up in the DEI hysteria, now you are infected, and the only way to save your company is to excise the tumor which means removing the DEI elements from your business. Easier said than done depending on the mindset, fortitude and courage of leadership.

Sure it takes strength, but it needs to be done. the thing is all these devs are prolly at will employees, so you can get rid of them anytime for any reason and they have no legal action. I mean they do this shit in my industry all the fucking time. Bad times means people get let go all the fucking time.
Let go of 80% regular women. Lets face it 80% of them are feminists which is just as bad. And only like 20% are real gamers which like games.
Let go 100% of feminist men. You know they are there, they must be purged.
Let go 100% of women with any shade of blue or green hair, shitty tattoos, nose piercings all over or stupid pronouns in their tags.
When hiring new devs nope the fuck out of any tats, blue hair, or any inkling of feminist.
Are they gamers? Or pretend gamers? I would have a test of some kind to make sure they are in fact gamers. Because non gamers cannot make good games.

I'm guessing the entire Guillemot family is a bunch of woke trash and Tencent probably encourages didn't earn it initiatives to help accelerate the destruction of the west. The only thing that can fix Ubisoft is if that activist investor actually manages to successfully organize a hostile takeover because that's the only chance there will be a purge of the scale that is needed.

EVERYTHING that I, and a few others here, have been saying about Shadows and the industry has been damn near prophetic.
Not that a blind man couldn't see it, but any of you retards defending this type of thing have no choice but to accept the fact that you're the tiny minority. And your warped mentally-ill worldview has an expiration date. Unfortunately, it's going to be a slow death, but I will dance on your corpse as your take your last breath.
A bunch of incompetent, feminist cunts robbed us of a proper sequel to one of the best games ever created and it makes my blood boil.

I want to say we have hit critical mass on the DEI/Woke stuff, but these companies have too much money and are too infested by these morons. It looks like at least Disney is finally coming to their senses, but you can tell the people in the background are going into hyperdrive to keep pushing. Ubisoft is just the first big shot in the face to gaming companies about catering to these idiots.

The larger the organization, the more delayed the uptake and the more drawn out the results. The larger game studios/publishers will continue to have DEI boondoggles for awhile. It does seem like most smaller studios are beyond most of it at this point though.

man this video made me so mad
"got2 was supposed be asscreed brotherhood but better"
what we could have had
I bet he will kill a lot of Japanese, so apparently jap lives don’t matter.
Btw, playing a black dude is fine to me, even if their motives are questionable. What about the rest of the game? Any known wokeism, or is it just expections?

Well… don’t care about that. We’ve had Lara Croft, and… some other stuff. I never really noticed. Though I do prefer to play a guy, now that I think about it.
