Ubisoft CEO Speaks out Against EA Move
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.
"With Electronic Arts the new owner of almost 20 percent of Ubisoft, you might expect that company's leader to wobble a bit in the unexpected limelight."
Being French, I expected them to surrender...
Thanks to file sharing, I purchase more CDs
Thanks to the RIAA, I buy them used...

Other than Wine or Women (Even then most of the Wine and Women are borderline foul)
I mean, hey maybe they'll throw in Citeron or Puegot, or how abour Renault....bwaaahhhh,
Sorry something about french and engineering in the same concept just eludes me.
So the French government is actually standing up instead of surrendering? This really is news.
Echelon has been used to give unfair advantage to boeing too, in the form of sensible datas. Behavior which is not in the scope of the french government should he want to favor one of its company.
So let's stop to pretend we believe there is one once of fairness behind those 2 governments. The only difference between those 2 is that France isnt powerfull enough to start oil wars, but barely able to enforce cacao peace.
BTW, this kind of grants have been given to disney when they built their eurocrap, and to numerous japanese car companies that built factories in France. They are not targeted at favoring french companies but at protecting french level of employment.
Woah there, bucko. Slow down. I'd like to introduce you to my friend "Humor".

I would troll you were I given mod points
As a real American , I get irritated when a whannabe from the United States "of America" officially known as Etats-Unians seems to imply that whe real American also known as Canadian are not real American.
...
- Whe discovered (rediscovered/conquered) america
- Whe live in a democracy the Etats-unians in a republic.
- Whe are courageous , fighting both world war from end to finish.
- Whe are noble , whe earned our country whe did not steal it like the Etats-unians.
- And in closing whe have beaten the crap out of every army the Etats-Unians as sent to try and conquer us.
- Etc
