Gaming companies getting bought out like that is a bad omen

These private equity groups are fukking up every industry they touch. EA getting brought out is a bad thing, despite how most of us feel about them.

If you thought the quality of their games were terrible now..

 

[Instant Classic]

So who’s getting Ubisoft? I’m betting on either the sheiks, Microsoft, or Tencent.

I thnk Tencent already has like 25% stake in Ubisoft. Due to ABK, there's a rule where where Microsoft is blocked form buying them for 10 years because they have cloud rights to ABK games or something like that for 10 years.

First SnK, then WWE, and now EA. The sheiks are shopping…

youre missing quite a few heavy hitters. scary times. seem like the world consolidating

 

[DaddyFresh]

Being purchased by private equity?? Oh yeah, expect even further cutbacks, layoffs, and a shyt ton of added debt
