“Ubisoft definitely addressed such companies with offers of mergers and acquisitions, and others usually joked from this. She is just too cumbersome.

The strength of Ubisoft for a long time called the coordinated work between large groups of developers, and now there are questions for all this.

I hope that Ubisoft will simply try to wait out difficult times.. . Otherwise, you will probably have to lose weight for sale. Sad situation. Game development is a harsh business, ”wrote Grabb.

in Ubisoft work more than 20 thousand people . For comparison, 12 thousand people work in Electronic Arts, the Activision Blizzard - 9, 8 thousand, Take-Two - 6, 5 thousand.
