    AN Ubisoft Studio ?

    I don't brag that English is my forte, but I am rather of the opinion that "An Ubisoft Studio" is correct grammar. An is used before a vowel sound, which would be the U. Who is your grammartarian, RL?

    Shouldn't it be "An Ubisoft Studio"?
    Is this a typo? Or was it purposely written like that?
    Not a typo. The indefinite article (in this case A) is not always determined by consonant/vowel. It sometimes has to do with pronunciation. Take the word "universe" for instance, it's "A universe", not "AN universe".

    I'm fairly sure it's only Americans who pronounce Ubisoft, "Oobisoft". Everywhere else it's pronounced, "you-be-soft". Makes sense if you think about it that way considering Ubisoft are French.
