Think they will announce they will move forward with the Civil War Assassins Creed “must kill whitey” edition.

Edit: for $149.99

Something has been going down there for a decade, Theyve lost at least 90% of their stock share and are/have been at serious danger of being kicked out of the american stock market at least. Their only worth for years has been quick pump and dump for private equity which is one of the shitiets game making pipelines imaginable

imo at least as someone who once loved this company and still many of their brands it needs to be taken totally private like EA or IPs sold off.

AAA studios are NOT suited well at all to be non private companies. The industry has been the wild west since its so young and money has poured into it but all of that will stop because regulation itsa coming like it or not

I actually think it should not be allowed for creative industries to hold IPOs. Idk how’d you enforce it but it makes the product worse 100% of the time. The publisher for EX 33 can’t recall their name but I really like their model. It sounds communist and shite which I should hate but I makes sense here

I would hazard a guess that someone is taking the company private...

I can’t think of a single good reason any video game company shouldn’t be a private company. Having public companies is a really good idea for certain industries and building countries economic growth. It’s a horrible idea for a creative industry where anything worthwhile is always driven by one single creative vision even if 1000s work on it.

I mean just look at the few gaming companies that actually are private, like Larian. Rockstar is one of the only ones I can think of that trades publicly under a larger company that mostly gives its creatives the freedom and ability to operate as a private company. And that will all change the moment shares drop.

The only thing decent thing Ubisoft has given the gaming world the past decade was this meme

That meme is so perfect because it expertly hits on the entire problem here

Everything ubisoft has made for as long as i can remember since like far cry 3 and Assassins' creed Ezio has been so focused group into retardation it is simply gruel now. This is all the inevitable outcome of them trading publicly and not just that but theyre in one of the large trading groups on the US stock exchange.

I would argue it is impossible to innovate or take risks if the company is public.

Would make their products safe and stale

In a way the law in America almost prohibits them from doing so in a way, so if you’re inclined to be generous pre bought out EA could be given some grace. Ubisoft is a French company

As far as I know France doesn’t have a law like the US legally binding companies to take actions that they in truth believe makes line go up no matter if it’s actually true, just that they truly think it is

This is, in a way, one of the ways the left is right about capitalism and its negatives. Even if I think it’s obvious it’s the best economic model in total and their prescriptions for problems are retarded; they are often good at identifying them.

Corporations are antithetical to Free Market capitalism

It relies on the government picking winners and losers

But that is the flaw in the weird corporatist/cronyist system we have in the US

I would agree. It is almost a stretch to still call America or really most countries acting on actual capitalism ideas any longer. It is much more realistic to call us a mixed market cooperate oligarchy
