Ubisoft are facing a game changing (in more ways than one) situation at the end of this month that could change the company forever.

If you've enjoyed Ubi games in the past and you plan on enjoying them in the future, you need to be aware of the threat, and the implications.

Anyone can join in and support Ubisoft, all you need is a photo or a twitter account, or just post your support here.

Full details and a list of what you can do, RIGHT HERE.

Perhaps if they spent less money on bad PR and publicity and invested more on innovating instead of copying others they wouldn't be primed for a hostile take over. Hopefully whomever buys them will do the right thing with the 2 best franchises UBIsoft pooped on for a decade and a half. If not, and they nuked them, oh well... it will be better than seeing die a slow death.

I for one, I am not surprised it is happening. If anything, they were able to milk the cow longer than I had anticipated and hoped for. I am sure Guillimot will not be having any problem sleeping at night though.

... Cue the arrogant attacks and name calling!

Ubisoft is seeing the reward for their efforts. I've noticed that every game they put out has declined in quality over the last few years. I see Ubisoft as a developer on this or that game so I don't purchase it. I've enjoyed games like Deus Ex, Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, Diablo series, and MGS much more than any Ubisoft title. Plus the replayability is high on those games and not on most Ubisoft titles.

I'm hoping Vivendi succeeds. Sure they might be just as bad or even worse but it is worth the gamble to get few quality titles again.

Excellent post Rocky and great write up on GhostRecon.net

I stand with Ubisoft!

So if you created a company, you'd like someone else to take over your company ?

You guys talk about decline and bad games but are they ? It's your opinion ofcorse but that opinion is a minority cause the majority play those games and don't come on the forum. Sure you care about the franchise cause you loved the first ones.

Remember that Vivendi had shares in Activision/blizzard company "COD, Wow" maybe you'd like the same business model as Activision ?

Vivendi took over Canal + and in 6 month they've lost 280K subscribers !!! It's the biggest mistake to bet on Vivendi.

If you feel down on Ubi games, remember that sometimes its best to be constructive and fix whats broken, rather than tear something apart.

The alternative with Vivendi is pretty clear if you look at what happened to Activision Blizzard.

I know which option I prefer.

I'm completly against Vivendi ... I'm french and here we saw what his policy made to some really promising brands.

I link also a good article (even if I'm not a gig fan of kotaku in general ) that explain maybe better the game devlopment

For all the sh!t I've given them in the past, I do not want Ubisoft to get taken over by Vivendi. But I don't see how tweeting about it and sharing it on social media will help them fight the takeover.
