Ea buying Ubisoft stock

[Zach Morris]

EA has bought like 20% of Ubisoft. What do you guys think of this?

Hostile takeover? <_<

Thats is what Ubisoft is claiming.

 

Now Ubisoft is a french based company and the french goverment is very protective when it comes to take overs from non french companies so I doubt Ubisoft is going to have a problem with EA as long the French goverment wants to keep it as a French company.

 

Personaly I dont want to see EA get control of Ubisoft, it would kill a lot of games (expecialy adventure games) and make EA a too powerful pubisher in the console market ... also Ubisoft is one of the few publishers that takes risks when it comes to inovative games.

I do not want EA to take control of Ubisoft because I would like the Splinter Cell games to continue being not sucky.

 

Also, the OXM demo of Chaos Theory is rad.

:angry: Traitor. Besides, it's Ubisoft's shares that went up, and I in no way know this because I ran out and purchased 200 of them when I heard about the takeover...

wouldnt it be kharma if eventually billy gates got bored and decided to buy ea? oh the irony.

 

*ignore this post if im out of the loop and in fact bill gates already owns ea :ph34r: *

[One2Many]

what is it with the French and game companies. i thought their major exports were wine and perfume...

 

wasn't it Ubisoft that acquired all the 3DO properties when it went belly up a few years back?

Never thought I would say this, but.....

 

I now love the French

 

I really really hope their gov can keep it out of EA's hands.

 

There's been quite a few Ubisoft games I've enjoyed... and none with an EA label (ok, there was Earth and Beyond, but they screwed that up)

EA doesn't bother me (at least right now). But I will not like it if they take over Ubi Soft. But still does it really matter? Take Ghost Recon for instance. Cool computer game. Challenging and detailed, just the way I like it. It didn't sell too well so they changed GR2 into some consoley mess. They did that on their own without EA's help. Or did Ubi Soft not do GR2?

Ubisoft already did that to themselves awhile ago(remember RedStorm?). They really don't need EA's help unless they want that god awfull EA Trax crap in thier games.
