Ubisoft and Tencent have Partnered Up

[Grimno]

So remember all those people claiming Tencent was going to BUY Ubisoft?

Turns out, that's not happening~

Ubisoft is forming a new subsidiary company in partnership with Tencent.
The subsidiary is valued at ~$4.3B and includes IPs like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six.

Tencent is investing a 25% stake in the company.

So Ubisoft and Tencent have partnered up.

This will also help shield those IPs in case anything does happen.
Tencent will be getting royalties for sales, but they're a financial backer/partner.


Edit: Funny enough, this very thing got reported on happening by Eurogamer almost 2 weeks ago

So? Tencent owns a stake in basically every big western game company

This. I don't know many people (myself included) who think the game is doing well and who also said it was going to singlehandedly save a studio that lost hundreds of millions on Skull and Bones.

Ubisoft may not cease to hold a majority of New subsidiary voting rights and share capital
for a 2-year period

I would bet that a lot of it was manufactured by Tencent. They essentially allowed Ubisoft to steer themselves into a wall.

And in China's eyes, it's just a bonus that this game was a huge insult to Japan's history.

Its smart af.

Bide your time with a small stake, await for their demise and come swooping in with the "save"

[Dr. Peppermill]

Maybe the commies can fix this trash of company. lol

This is a lifeboat for Guillemot. Been in the making for awhile. Honest folks will lose their jobs and he will reap the benefits if things go sour.

Literally still makes Tencent the controlling party and that's what we said would happen. This thread is huge cope. You were wrong again lol

They're a minority holder with Ubisoft having full ownership of the subsidiary, the IPs, with complete creative freedom.
Y'all are just making stuff up now?
Weird tactic.

I mean if Ubisoft does, Tencent has no say in the matter.
They're literally just a large investor collecting royalties now.
