(Bloomberg) -- Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Ubisoft Entertainment SA’s founding Guillemot family are considering options including a potential buyout of the French video game developer after it lost more than half its market value this year, according to people familiar with the matter.

Tencent would be capped at a 10% stake. The Guillemot family would remain in control, just the way they want it.

Maybe Ubisoft should for once make a good game (OK, Rayman Raving Rabbids for Wii was a fun romp for a bit). I’m constantly baffled how a company this shitty that’s constantly making super derivative games got so big in the first place.

Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a rare gem from Ubi. Other than that, their best “recent” game is probably Rayman Legends, and that’s like a decade old now

You’re probably right (I never played it). Completely forgot about it.

They sell to the type of person who only buys a few video games per year. They’re easy to play, they look nice, and they have a lot of content for the money, so you can stretch your dollar.

Assassins creed far cry series are still my favourite games except the newer ones. They are extremely enjoyable to my adhd brain.
