Ubisoft CEO Speaks out Against EA Move

Posted by Zonk on from the ubisoft-and-the-beanstock dept.

Gamespot is reporting that Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has spoken out against EA's "hostile action". From the article: "Considering the industry practice of communicating informally about such decisions, we were disappointed, to say the very least, that EA chose not to inform us of their specific plans beforehand." Further, Voodoo Extreme is reporting that a financial report may suggest the French government is going to assist Ubisoft in staying out from under EA's thumb.

    The french recognize that they can't compete on a level field so they try to rig the game. You can't blame them for being inferior, only for being phony and claiming that they support free trade.

      France to EA: Piss off you American pig.

      I bet someone in the French government is just making noise to score some easy points off the eevul Americans. This is not an essential business (like aerospace, major textiles, etc) and not worth the grief justifying their action in light of their WTO agreements.

      There may be some talk talk, but no real action from the French gov.

    yeah, we should have just chopped off everyone's heads - that's a much better style of revolution in my opinion!

    Think about that every time you celebrate "Le Chop off the Fucking Heads Day" or whatever it is that you celebrate to commerate that period of time.
