Tencent buying Ubisoft

[Tzyku]

Ubisoft is in the worst situation of its existence. Essentially, they’ve shot themselves in the foot with their lackluster games, poor interaction with the community, and failure to listen to players. At this point, there’s a lot of talk online about Ubisoft possibly being sold. I’m not sure if Tencent is the best choice. Personally, I thought Sony would be a more suitable buyer, as they could leverage their network to sell games without requiring PSN. What do you think about that?

Sony? Remember concord?

Sony x Ubisoft is like combination from hell itself.

I understand, but for Sony, this purchase can be something more. I mean, Sony by itself has a lot of problems... but maybe it can work

I don’t think even Sony wants to buy Ubisoft, what with Ubisoft’s ridiculous 21 THOUSAND employees. That is a lot of bloat!!

Ubisoft's best stuff is pretty much locked in the past before microtransactions ever even existed. So I mean, them shooting themselves in their own foot has been a long time coming anyhow.
"Phenomenal Cosmic Power, itty-bitty living space." RIP Ubisoft, I guess.

I don't believe it's none of the above.... it's simply they pushing a agenda that gamer's won't submit too.

In my own opinion, if starwars outlaws starred Han Solo as the main character, it would of been a massive success. But because Ubisoft wanted to push this female lead and push identity politics inside their games, it's caused such a backlash, gamer's are for once sticking together in boycotting.

And all this crap about 'you should be happy not owning your games' has been taken out of context. Clearly, none of us own our digital games on platforms such as ubisoft, steam, epic, EA etc and we all act like somehow Ubisoft was in the wrong to say this.

But I wish all the digital platforms especially steam would come out and say the same thing instead of hiding behind, SSA, Eula''s and ToS's and expecting gamer's to read it all. Just my two cents.

What about microsoft, they'd throw everything on xbawks and microsoft store.

Or EA, who'd just sit on the IP's and let them die, preventing the competition to do something nice with it.

The same can be said for valve sitting on IP's such as Left 4 Dead, Half-life and Team Fortress.

But I would like to see another Burnout paradise game tho and especially a new half-life and Left 4 Dead game.

No they don't own it they only own a small part (about 10%)

Not for long, soon tencent will hold more with this supposed buyout that is rumored. Like I said in another post, outside forces are destroying western companies from within with this DEI and woke agenda, making said companies worth pennies on the dollar, enough for outside forces to come in and scope them up, just my opinion.

I hope they fix Far cry 6 and make it good.
