EA Looking to Increase Stake in UbiSoft

Posted by Zonk on from the who-knew? dept.

Despite recent claims from EA that their intentions were benign, Reuters has the story today that EA may expand their investment in Ubisoft and could seek a seat on the board. From the article: "EA is now Ubisoft's largest shareholder and has 20.88 percent of its voting rights. But the Guillemot brothers, the French company's founders who together own 17.5 percent, still control 22.8 percent of the voting rights."

    Just like the White House is insisting that Iran isn't a major concern...yet.

    Anyone else feeling like the victim of a jedi-mindtrick?

    Is this the money kind of stake, or the wooden kind?

    Speaking of buy... I'm trying to determine which next generation console I should buy. It seems to come down to the Playstation ThrEA, the NintEA-endo, or the EA Box. What looks good to You? Aceadean
