      There’s no way this makes them any less greedy. And there’s no way the concentration of power with Tencent benefits anyone.

    I worked for Ubisoft for more than 10 years. This is the first encouraging news about the company I’ve read in a long time.

    From the article …

    In a conference call, Ubisoft chief financial officer Frederick Duguet said the subsidiary’s board “will be controlled by Ubisoft, so Ubisoft will continue controlling and consolidating this entity.”

      The deal includes the teams working on the mentioned properties, but doesn’t go into what IPs are changing hands. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if all Tom Clancy series are lumped together

    They need to sell the Trials IP to someone who will use it - preferably someone with a soul.
