As you know, the gaming world has been rocked by massive acquisitions in recent months. Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest developers, is also said to be on the agenda of some brands in recent days. But the Guillemot family, the founder of Ubisoft, has moved to pour match water at the root of these allegations.
According to Seeking Alpha, the Guillemot family wants to continue their dynasty at Ubisoft. According to industry analysts, the family will not allow other brands to take over the company by acquiring Ubisoft’s controlling stakes.
Even this news alone sent Ubisoft’s shares jumped 11 percent.
The Guillemot family currently owns 16 percent of Ubisoft and 22 percent of the votes on the executive floor. So your family’s going to have to take most of the studio. The Guillemot family will try to get Ubisoft through this firm by shaking hands with a private fund. So at least that’s what the allegations say…
Yves Guillemot, who is currently CEO of Ubisoft, fell silent on the issue, commenting only that “Ubisoft should remain independent”. But in the coming days, with news that will shake up the gaming world, the Guillemot family may once again come up.
