What exactly the new management will consider waste to be cut, remains to be seen, but Ubisoft actually has a ton of smaller IPs that I am REALLY scared for right now.
Looks at Titanfall, Gravity Rush, The Evil Within, WipEout…
What are you on about? Ubisoft has a bunch of tiny IPs with high quality games and talented studios behind them.
How does someone still owning them help, if they axe the people who make them great in the first place, the franchises themselves likely to never return as we know them?
What do you mean “I have nothing to worry about”?!
Which is why I’m so fucking confused by you telling me I have nothing to worry about. I’m using “small IPs” to refer to those parts of Ubisoft. People, studios, and art, alike.
Why in the world would I be worrying about whether the relevant legal constructs continue to exist on paper? That OBVIOUSLY isn’t going anywhere, what’s at risk is the relevant studios, and people, behind the art.
I’m literally commenting on an article about potential layoffs. When I said I’m scared for Ubisofts smaller IPs, I’m obviously referring to the possibility that the people that work on them might lose their jobs.

The IPs will be retained even if the people aren’t so you don’t have to worry about them

You should care less about the IPs and more about the people
Yes? Exactly?

After Skull and Bones, XDefiant, Star Wars Outlaws, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows bombed. Layoffs are going to happen with or without Tencent.
