This has been on the brink for a while now but French publisher Ubisoft has been shitting the bed for a while now and the company is falling apart thanks to a series of bad-mediocre releases across the board that nobody has been asking for. The GP has finally gotten tired of assassin's creed tier slop and Ubisoft's shitty practices so they are collapsing at the seams, and investors are MAD. It is not unlikely they go private or get bought out by the end of this year (Stock price is a mere $11.93 at time of me writing this).
