Ubisoft "Wouldn't be the Same" If Vivendi Took Over, Says Exec

Ubisoft can't get much worse, so if it wouldn't be the same that means it could only get better.

Your execs are inside trader thieves, you should be in jail. Also, you are a PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY. You are not independent, stop lying to our faces.

We certainly hope not. Ubisoft is deep in the corporate cartel crapper. Perhaps if the executives had fairly shared the revenue with all the employees that do the actual work and proper product development their games over the past 5 years would not have sucked.

Had Ubi not screwed up EVERY franchise, then maybe they would be having this problem. I can still remember when Tom Clancy's name on something was a GOOD sign.

Are you telling me it could get any worse? well that's a surprise.

Take over may be something good. Tired of ubishit copy pasta rehashes. They kill good franchise like prince of persia, might & magic. How many more towers we need to keep unlocking in farcry and assassin creed? you deserve this

I like that a lot of the haters rolled over here directly from the Watch Dogs 2 review, meaning they are still shelling out money on day one to buy their products.

I Hope So . They can't be worse than that

Yeah...hostile take over might be exactly what needs to be done in order to get the game we want. It certainly couldn't get any worse. They may even show trailers with real gameplay and when the game comes out it might actually look the same. Problem is you have a lot of big game names that were cool and then you got greedy....poor execution with yearly releases. And shame on whoever made me experience the assassin's Creed 3 ending. I hope you get hit by a bus.

Ubisoft is the master of destroying good games with horrible sequels. I hope that Vivendi's take over turn out to be a good point.

Good! We need a change! No more Ubishit.

"Ubisoft wouldn't be the same if Vivendi took over."

Yeah, no more downgrades!

Well after reading that UBI have decided to cut back on the narrative in what are already narrative scarce games, I can't say that this takeover would be a bad thing. Sick of the hundreds of collectibles that impede on my map. It's cheap and crass.

"Ubisoft wouldn't be the same if Vivendi took over."

They might need to start making actual good games instead of promoting and packaging the garbage they currently have, that's a whole lotta actual software development work!!

So many haters that are just saying the same nonsense that everyone else does, Why not make your own educated opinion rather than trying to fit in.

I thought this was settled (?)

"Ubisoft wouldn't be the same if Vivendi took over."

Awesome!

I guess I might be looking at this a little too much, but what makes this a hostile takeover? Vivendi is buying up lots of Ubisoft stock, that it?

Yeah, it might actually be better.

You just wouldn't be in charge anymore. Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing. I'm at the point where i don't care.

i dont see any lost here , maybe it would be a better company who knows .

So, Anne, you complain about how horrible it'd be losing independence. Betcha sang a different tune when Ubisoft gobbled up independent studios.

Well, they do need to change a bit, WD2 is a fantastic game, so if you can make the other games coming, like For Honor, great, and do something truly innovative with the next AC and Far Cry games, they could really be great again.

Isnt that the fucking point you cunts.

R6: Siege and Child of Light are the only games I've enjoyed of theirs in a depressingly long time, so I wouldn't mind less of the same. Interested in Valiant Hearts though. It's funny they are calling those low budget throwaway projects high risk though, that's really cute. How the heck is an online racing game high risk? There have been tons of them.

Ubisoft are the experts at giving me some serious buyers remorse.

many here cheering Ubisoft to die but that company had 30 years portfolio behind with some amazing games

lol And this is a bad thing is it?

Why? could it get any worse?
