Massive bulks up Ubisoft

"Ubisoft, making sure pc ports suck since...2005 I really hope that ubisoft doesnt affect the game too much. " Indeed.

A few years ago some young guy was stating developing vidi-game ,because they love it .Now some big/huge/rich companies are start buying game companies,because they love money.So whats going on..? THERE IS NO RED ALERT 2 any more ''remember westwood''

Well,better than being purchased by EA.

@mach-stem:yep

First EA, now UBI...I was happy with Massive/Sierra, this game is amazing, but let's just hope they aren't pressured by UBI for forced releases as they have been demonstrating the last couple games. Sigh.

UBISOFT are already the best in my books (or on my console) and hopefully this will open more opportunity's for them? i cant wait to see the next batch of games in 09 when these 2 Merge properly! Good luck to them

Activision Blizzard has gone crazy

Well why is AB selling all of Vivendi assets? No profit, huh? WiC is great, but, but, but does it earn them a lot of money?

Myst still remains one of my favourite PC games of all time. The Ending Has Yet To Be Writin

Ubisoft has made some good PC games. I believe they picked up the license to Myst after the second instalment and made the next two of them, while the last game in the series went back to roots with it's parent company Cyan. I think that's how it went, can't remember too sure.

I Care Nothing Of This News When Is Assasins Creed Coming Out Now Thats News

I hope after that they still make GOOD PC games and not abandon them.

Hmmm... why would Activision put them up for sale in the first place...

Ubisoft is gonna turn into EA someday and i'm fearing for whenever that will happen. I've got 2 of the most hyped games from Ubisoft Montreal (Assassin's Creed and Far Cry 2) and seriously, they really, REALLY, R E A L L Y! need to work on improving gameplay standards. It's so bloody repetitive!!!

wonderful, now ubisoft is going to require them to make their games for consoles too which will direct their attention away from where the pc versions.

lol bad move Acti. I think they were retarded to get rid of such good games. So sad.

I hope this can help them out

There's something to be said about growing too big. Image the day when Ubisoft buys EA.

This is awesome!! Imagine the WiC gameplay with Endwar voice command. One word, glorious.

yeah i see....so where is splinter cell conviction thats all i want to know

Yeah waht Inconnux said. EA should focus on making games that don't suck, instead of buying rival studios. I wonder what changes this deal may bring.

Hopefully World in Conflict: Soviet Assault will now be released.

Thats cool! :)

Atleast EA didn't buy them...

Maybe EndWar 2 will be a worthwhile strategy game now.

good catch by ubisoft, now if they also release the expansion for the pc Ill be happy

world in conflict is a great game, good move Ubisoft

So are we going to have the big three third party companies now? EA, Activision and Ubisoft?

not bad at all, hope that it works out

good they did not go under with this Blizzard thing.

sounds like a delicous hot ham and cheese sandwich with hot fries!!!

WIC rocks. I am so glad that they will be able to make great games for years to come now. way yo go Ubi!

Massive makes greats games, period. I don't know how anyone lets them get away. Smart move by Ubi.

@gamer082009: activision had cancelled WIC:soviet assault, if ubisoft hadn't aquired Massive there would have been no future WIC installations. So instead of cursing their name be grateful that Ubi might finally bring a new WIC game to light

OMG! Great news!!!

thank god! die in a horrible fire activision, now we might actually see that Worild in Conflict sequal we've all been praying for

Ubisoft, why don't you buy yourself a FPS development studio and do yourself a favor.

Oh awesome! I like Ubisoft. Finally, someone escapes the clutches of EA!

good news, last one was published by Sierra so i think Ubisoft will make it better, thanks to EndWar they know a bit about console rts to

Very good news, Massive is a great Swedish developer and Ubisoft is a good publisher

Good to see. Good to see Acti-Bliz is liquidating that is. Anything that shows the weaknesses of that company is good news. Plus Ubisoft will do great things with Massive so this is a double win for gamers.

NOOOOOOOO goddamn Ubisoft :(

I really don't like these types of acquisitions because usually when the buying company buys another it runs the whole series into the ground. Please Ubisoft don't screw up the WIC series. Ubi is better @ 3rd person shooters than anything else.

Sweet my respect for Ubisoft has gone up now and it would be awesome if they gave massive the technology they use in endwar for the voice controls for World in conflict

End War II :)

Yay!
