I guarantee private equity is circling them like a flock of buzzards smelling death. This is why they’re preemptively making the same actions that a private equity company would do after acquisition, layoffs, restructuring “bold new plans” and a bunch of lip-service to inflate value before divvying up any resources of value like licenses and senior programmers to form a new brand, and throwing the rest away.
Comment on Ubisoft initiates colossal restructure to become a more 'gamer-centric' company

Yeah that company is cooked. They likely won’t last another decade and are going to make moves to look enticing for a buyout and pad the CEOs golden parachute. Fuck them and their millionaire management who are disconnected from reality and destroyed the careers of many creative people they fired under their feet.

I’m actually cool with this. They really have been ignoring a large swath of Tom Clancy shit, and I feel assassin’s Creed just isn’t as cool and interesting as it used to be. Not to mention Prince of Persia which they seem to have completely abandoned. I would love it if private equity came in and sold all their ips to other houses.

I think this thing with Tencent is the only buyout they’re going to get.
