Ubisoft Would Consider Hollywood Buyout

Posted by Zonk on Monday May 16, 2005 @11:19AM from the going-to-the-dogs dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has the word that Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia developer Ubisoft may consider a buyout by a Hollywood studio. Intriguing, after the back and forth between Ubisoft and EA earlier this year. From the article: "The CEO told the paper that an acquisition by a large multinational entertainment firm - such as Walt Disney Co. or Time Warner - 'is a solution which could be, for us, fairly interesting.'" Interesting would be to see how such a development would affect the franco-phone-tastic relations that Ubi has with Quebec.

As a side note, I am a bit pissed at this deal since I live in one of the Canadian provinces that supports the other freeloading provinces
Something tells me you're from Alberta.
