All games I wouldn't play anyways because corporate greed.

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

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."

lol sure for now, all of those “we’ll control this buyout” lasts for like a year until the org is dissolved or whatever because the majority shareholder has changed the deal

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.

Great executive leadership in action here. How much IP did they destroy

[–] AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, goodbye all of those franchises. Tencent can gargle a bag of dicks.

[–] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

goodbye? all those franchises have been out the door for ages now.

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