Well, Ubi is piece of shit nowadays, so it wouldn't be such a loss in this regard. But hell, no more monopoly pls, tencent is huge enough already...

Taking it private just means taking it off the stock market (the news of it possibly going private has already cause the share price to spike).

Honestly, public trading of games companies sucks anyway and is what drives all the shit you see from the likes of EA, Take Two, Roblox etc.

Under private control, and less drive to bleed every drop of value out of every property might mean we can get classics like Beyond Good and Evil again.

Well, technically yes, but not under Tencent. These guys will squeeze Ubisofts balls even harder than shareholders do. All stuff that went under Tencent got worse or at least that's what I remember.

An AC game in Japan is something we wanted 15 years ago. Tsushima did it better anyways, it's too late Ubisoft. I know this new AC game will have the exact same glitches and bugs that AC has had since the first game. They need to rebuild a whole new engine and modernize, or just let it die. I played mirage for like an hour and got bored cause it's just the same thing all over again
