    Taking it private just means taking it off the stock market (the news of it possibly going private has already cause the share price to spike).

    Honestly, public trading of games companies sucks anyway and is what drives all the shit you see from the likes of EA, Take Two, Roblox etc.

    Under private control, and less drive to bleed every drop of value out of every property might mean we can get classics like Beyond Good and Evil again.

      Well, technically yes, but not under Tencent. These guys will squeeze Ubisofts balls even harder than shareholders do. All stuff that went under Tencent got worse or at least that’s what I remember.
