So what sort of change will this bring?
What will vivendi do?

beyond good and evil is so getting canned, especially considering that they really just started with it and it would take several years to come to fruition. it will not survive the takeover

>>380594061
Worst case scenario, nothing changes. Best case scenario, they gut Ubisoft's management are replace them with people who don't have their heads so far up their ass they can smell the baguettes they just ate.

"We polled the market and most people want generic shooter #203.
Therefore, we will make generic shooter #203."

If you have ever worked for a large company, you would know that they don't care what niche groups want and just publish for the masses. Always looking for the next CoD audience.

But hey! We will probably see a load more Mario games from Ubisoft because anything with Mario on the cover is an instant success!

>>380595476
but how about the nigger monkey

>>380593940
Can someone explain to me why this is bad?

Why would Vivendi want to spend all that money if they didn't think Ubisoft was already valuable?

>people unironically shilling for Vivendì
they're way more cancerous than current ubisoft will ever be.

>>380595565
yea jacks too should just be for his own screen then he'd have to communicate with his team where the ping is

>>380595656
The name of the company and its most popular franchises are valuable. Everything else is fluff.

>>380595714
Are you fucking retarded? What do you think its gonna happen? Vivendi may take over Ubisoft and cane every project but the people currently working at Ubisoft could just leave and make a new company and what the fuck is Vivendi gonna do about that?

>>380594189
Not likely. They are up there with EA. Expect worse practices. And more MMOs for no fucking reason.

>>380595714
The might and magic series is dead, and we're also never going to get a sequel to dark messiah... So let them burn.

Ubisoft probably should just hire some hitmans to deal with it.

>>380593940
Feels like the rapey guy outside waiting for a waitress to get off the late shift. Once he gets his opportunity no good will come from it.

What if that's the whole reason they announced it without any actual gameplay?
Just so they could actually say, after the takeover, that the game is in the works and has already been announced so canning it quietly internally wouldn't be an option anymore?

>>380595924
and why would they do that?

You can't really go any lower so I actually welcome this acquisition in case it improves something.

>>380594763
Gameloft was having huge management problems a few years ago. They closed and fired their entire New York studio without even warning anyone because of a personal feud between upper management people. These are the kind of people who would cut off their own nose to spite their face, so Vivendi will probably be an improvement.

>>380595968
Maybe with shit like Assassin's Creed. As long as they have games like Rayman Legends, Trackmania and Siege, they're good enough in my eyes. You guys can keep pretending they don't have good games.

>>380596538

Kek
Vivendi would not give a single shit about that or any public opinion, they're gonna walk in, look at how the original came out forever ago and didn't sell, see that it's not a high profit genre game and eating lots of money, and can it immediately.

>>380593940
Ubisoft doesn't die if another company takes over, you moron

Why is vivendi doing a take over

>>380597258
The real BGE2 was already cancelled 10 years ago. If this shambling mess wearing its name gets cancelled I'm not going to shed tears.

>>380597397
it does when vivendi buys them

>>380594189
Vivendi used to be a publisher 10 years ago until they've screwed everything up. If they aquire Ubisoft it's dead in 5 years.

>>380597441
$

>>380597441
imagine owning Activision - Ubisoft - Blizzard

its like a wet dream for any western exc

>Manlet CEO

Vivendi is a corporate vampire.

They will suck the company dry and transfer as much bad debt to them as possible and then dump them. Just like they did with Blizzard. The only reason Blizzard got out from under that is because they had jew money to pay them off.

>>380597441
They want to get back into video games. They were always big in digital entertainment (TV, music and movies). The fact that their video games didn't sell doesn't mean they can't afford a second try.

>>380597923
you mean COD money

>>380594189
Are you fucking kidding me? Have you seen NONE of Vivendi's past work? They're going to force Ubisoft to churn out some of the safest, generic, most mainstream appeal games they can until they're dry. Then they will toss them in the trash like a juicebox and hold on to all of the assets for 20 years so no one else can use them.

If you thought Ubisoft was bad now, wait until you see them in a year or two

>>380597705
Nope. Vivendi does not care about video games. They didn't even realize how much of a golden egg Blizzard was and tried to kill it. Vivendi is full of old corporate executives that thinks old media is still supreme and new media are there to be exploited.

>>380598343
and what are you going to do about it instead of worrying and spout DOOMED on the internet ?

oh thats right there isn't anything

>>380596024
But if they close the studios, the franchises are useless. Wouldn't it be cheaper just to keep the Ubi studios running than for Vivendi to close them all and start up their own studios to use the IPs?

>>380598343
>They're going to force Ubisoft to churn out some of the safest, generic, most mainstream appeal games they can until they're dry
Like they're doing now? The only noteworthy game of theirs in years was Siege.

>>380593940
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

TAKE THAT SHILLS

>In news from 11 September 2016 Yves Guillemot (one of the Ubisoft owners) is set to buy an additional 3.5% of Ubisoft shares to raise his stake to 12.5% to attempt to block a takeover from Vivendi. Yves has been attempting to lobby other shareholders to prevent them selling their shares to Vivendi.
Going full panic. Good. Serves him right, fucking faggot. Ruined and killed some of my favourite IPs.
I hope Ubisoft burns in hell.

>>380593940
>Lets discuss the upcoming death of ubisoft
ubisoft has been the shittiest company in gaming for a long time. i couldnt imagine this would make them worse, it might even make them better.

Could ubisoft possibly be any shittier?
I guess we'll find out

>>380594763
Gameloft used to make genuinely interesting premium games before freemium pricing models became a thing, upon which they turned to making exclusively free to play games fucked up with microtransactions and "VIP" exclusive benefits (VIP tiers based on how many microtransactions you buy). Funnily enough, they also made licensed ports for the two Ass Creed DS games.

Ubisoft themselves have also been moving in that direction with a shit load of free to play mobile games including a full 3D Assassin's Creed game that is online-only for no reason. Honestly, I don't think we'll see a difference. The mobile division just keeps trucking on churning shit like it always does.

>frogs going to get the baguette in their ass forcibly removed and replaced with shiveled up mutilated jewcock
Serves them right, does ubishit even have any worthwhile IPs?

>>380598343
>They're going to force Ubisoft to churn out some of the safest, generic, most mainstream appeal games they can until they're dry.
So what you're saying is: nothing will change.

The most stand out game they have done in recent times is Blood Dragon. A game that uses the exact same tropes it tries to satirize.

>>380598740
>new media are there to be exploited
And they are as long as people keep eating up all the shit they are served.

>>380599249
IIRC she is going through a divorce so not in the mood for memes

>>380593940
>>380594061
I hope you were done with your Ubisoft games, because they'll all become unplayable once Vivendi decides to shut down the Uplay servers to save costs.

>>380594189
Listen I'm all for hating Ubisoft, they're terrible. They make SJW open world boring as fuck games. But even I know They're the lesser evil when it comes to the alternative of Vivendi. They're like the bastard child of Konami and EA.

So glad I barely come to /v/ anymore

>>380602651
Just because a company makes bad games doesn't mean they deserve to be swallowed by EA lite so they can never improve. I'd rather they just ceased functioning as a company entirely and sell their ips to someone credible. We aren't all vindicative cunts, some of us just want to play videogames.

>>380601519
>>380601787
No, military action is required.

>>380601787
Not when scamming kids happens on a scale like that. Vivendi doesn't care which IPs they ruin, they will make everything into an exchange of money.

The irony is that the free market is the excuse they use to buy public stocks of a company.

>>380602793
I literally started frequenting /out/. Not even kidding.

>>380602651
When Assassin's Creed ends up with hundreds of mobile games, you might find a little sympathy for the company.

Worst case, half the projects get canceled and they do mobile games

>>380595312
Today's Vivendi is completely different from the one that owned Blizzard. And that was the nice version of Vivendi, the new guys are a lot more ruthless.

I love these Ubisoft part timers in here crying about how evil Vivendi is.

Nobody gives a fuck. Ubisoft is a shit company that makes shit games. Watching them get bought out and then management getting fucked in the ass is exactly what everyone who actually likes good video games wants to see.

Nobody cares if the new guys are worse, we just like seeing the guys responsible for Assassin's Creed get sacked.

So without memes and shitposts, realistically what's the chance that BGE2 still gets made?

>>380594189
My little anon can't be this ignorant.
Vivendi will basically create the sequel to EA

>>380604559

I'm going to jerk off repeatedly when Vivendi replaces you with better shills for a fraction of the cost. You're going to be replaced by some ching chongs working out of a Shanghai basement.

Michel Ancel told repeatedly, in multiple interviews, that he would take back the BGE2 project if there were enough people from the original BGE team.
I'm hopeful anon, Michel Ancel is not greedy, and he may have jews for higher ups but I think he's gonna do us right.
He has his own dev studio separate from Ubisoft too.

>>380601519
It's not like Blizzard is any better even with Vivendi gone.

>>380604391
Companies know the risks when they go public

>>380594189
Wrong.
Best case scenario they don't change anything.
Worst change scenario they gut Ubisoft's management and their replacement have even less knowledge of games while acting like they control the industry.

>>380605056
ActiBlizz joined and bought themselves out from Vivendi because they knew it would mean the end of the companies. Vivendi didn't merged them.

>>380602764
Good post.

Literally the only Ubisoft game in recent memory worth caring about is Siege.

Ubisoft deserves to burn

>>380604391
it's not "hostile" in any way though. The shareholders want to sell, they're in their full right to do it. It's not their fault the founders of the company decided to have minority shares.

How the fuck? Is not Beyond Good and Evil anymore. Its an early access MMO. They spent 3 years just to make the engine and the actual development of the game is at 0%.

>feeling bad about Ubisoft

Neo /v/, too young to have known Raven Shield and how Ubisoft sabotaged the modding community under thread of lawsuits. Too young to remember how they gradually raped Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell throughout the years.

Nowadays they are just remaking the same games over and over again always pushing a little more their multi cultural anti white agenda.

Also that useless trash that is Uplay.

What business does Vivendi even have in games anymore? They merged Vivendi Games with Activision a while back, and they don't even have very much ownership at all of Activision Blizzard these days.

That was never going to happen. Any proper roboticly operated super corp can operate simply by shifting money around rather than trying to make it. This kind of thing can go on years or even decades. They never would have shut down and never would have sold IPs as long as the market is built such that it can be played like a fuckin game.

One robotic corp swallowed another robotic corp. No one will notice the difference.

>Watch one shit company fuck another shit company in the ass

>"W-Why are you defending Vivendi, goyim? Don't you want to play Assassin's Creed: Fifty Shades Browner?"

Alright considering the fact that Ubisoft had basically broken all promises, refused to fix their games, let the connection issue get way out of hand AND to add salt to the injury and the wound they just basically told everyone to just "get over it, it's just a game"

Alright so the bottom line is this. Ubisoft has to die and it has to be very big.

We need to come up with a way to ultimately boycott them and find a way to basically sabotage their reputation permanently and to come up with a way for them to get in legal issues with alot of other companies even Microsoft and Sony if we must.

There are rumors going around saying that Ubisoft latest game for honor was purposely released with broken meckanics, unbalanced issues and connection issues from hell because what do scammers like?

MONEY

Just like how most con artists will use kickstarter because that is an easy quick cash grab and Ubisoft did the same trick just without the kickstarter. And they need to be stopped before it gets way out of hand than what it is.

Which gives us an opportunity to get the old 4chan raid party together and raid them for the fucking lulz.

Now what does ubisoft listen to the most?
When it comes to their customers and community?
Is it straight people?
No
Is it white people?
No
Is it white straight male?
No
Is it the traps, gays, lesbians, blacks, transgenders, feminists, non whites and liberals?
YES

Ubisoft will only listen to those because they are the most catered group when it comes to mainstream media so you know how to impersonate these people and pretend to be these people just so ubisoft will actually listen because if they refuse to listen to these "people" then they will get a very VERY bad rep from every left media news about how the company is being "racist and xenophobic"

Which is the first step to this operation.

Considering how bioware listened to one transgender but not thousands of other normal people's complaints.

I never cared that much about any of their games except they are often in top 3 at E3, and the Rayman games are always fun to watch at E3.
I care a bit about Rayman, because I care about platformers, but Ubisoft as a whole, whatever.

Actually, as a Nintendo fan, I guess I should like them, because they were the only third party to give Wii U a chance, and overall they support Nintendo and give them exclusives.

By the time Sierra got shut down by Vivendi, they were essentially nothing but a shell corporation that was selling games made by other developers they'd acquired over the years.

The move to 3D is what killed Sierra.

Many of the best 'Sierra' games were actually developed by Dynamix, Papyrus, Impressions, etc. Dynamix in particular, and Dynamix pretty much killed themselves when all of their top guys (Tunnell, Slye, etc.) burned out and quit to go do other shit with all of the money they'd made.

That isn't how hostile takeovers work. It is a very organised legal process that mostly rests upon big institutional investors with a large percentage of the company's voting rights deciding they'd rather take the big payout and ditching the company en masse.

>>380612438

>Yfw Ubisoft will die in your lifetime

>>380610630
thats just a polite step French adds
if Ubisoft refuse, Viventi on its capacity as major investor can call for an investors vote about anything (in this case the acquisition or change of board member for other more prone to the acquisition).
Voting power is handled parallel to stocks owned, own 30% stock? your vote is 30%. if the vote reach 51% the directors board HAS TO acknowledge that will and proceeds to merge

Hostile Take Over HTO is a company buying enough stocks of another that when they call in for a vote, they can easily tilt the balance to their side.

Japan for example has laws that makes incredible difficult for overseas companies to pull HTO.
also stocks majority is one of the reason Nintendo himself and close one own most of its own stocks and invested several Billions to buy the stocks the president before Iwata died

This is a good thing, fuck Ubisoft, they have nothing to offer me anymore so why the fuck should I care that they're gonna get gutted?

keeping yourself 51% of your stocks = not selling = less investment.

A company goes public so the sell of the stocks brings em instant loads of money for future projects.

>boo hoo think of the business men

Capitalism devalues human life.

>>380620347
Well then they deserve to lose their company. All those future projects only attracts bigger fish that will buy your ass out.

HTO is the one risk of going public, shit happens

Anon we should be concerned letting to pieces of shit merge into a greater shit can be terrible.

If they were full defense then they should have done Rayman as well.

Vivendi is the 9th circle of hell shit to ever happen to gaming. Fuck Vivendi.

Ubisoft deserves it tho

Yet Blizzard has only gone downhill after the deal.

It's like a serial rapist getting killed by a serial killer.
It's bad that there's a serial killer out there, but it's not like the serial rapist didn't deserve it.

>>380620027
If once every 6 years is enough they have the Rayman games

Legends was 2013, Montpelier is busy with Beyond Gender and Equality for at least another year.

>>380622226
>at least

They ain't even started working on the game yet.

Ancel's been noodling about prototyping a space simulation engine.

>Splinter Cell
fuck, why did you have to remind me... after the shit show called Double Agent (PC) and the abominations known as Conviction & Blacklist (the latter being the final insult thrown at the mangled corpse of an once great series), i've been boycotting every game these faggots have released since, they can fuck off and die if that means that SC won't be defiled anymore

RIP Sam Fisher, RIP Splinter Cell, you didn't deserve this
