Well, there might be one bad idea, at least from the Guillemot perspective: An outright takeover.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Yves and the fam have steadfastly resisted any attempt to wrest control of Ubisoft from their hands. Several years ago they fought a long and bitter battle with multimedia conglomerate Vivendi, which was attempting a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/vivendi-edges-closer-to-ubisoft-with-hostile-gameloft-takeover\/\">hostile takeover<\/a> of the company. I thought the Guillemots were hosed but eventually Vivendi threw in the towel\u2014which is when Tencent <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/vivendi-sells-off-ubisoft-holdings-tencent-buys-in\/\">jumped in<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tencent paid \u20ac66 per share when it made that first investment, and those shares recently hit their lowest price in more than a decade, sinking to under \u20ac10. That gives Tencent powerful incentive to move aggressively to turn things around, but the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/tencents-latest-deal-will-help-ubisoft-fend-off-takeover-bids-from-larger-corporationslike-tencent\/\">2022 deal<\/a> to increase its holding in the company left it with no operational control and limits what it can do directly. That&apos;s not an immutable situation, but it does complicate things somewhat for any Tencent ambitions toward a wholesale takeover.<\/p>\n<p>But the report does point toward potentially big things happening in the not-too-distant future. Ubisoft is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/despite-high-hopes-for-star-wars-outlaws-and-xdefiant-ubisofts-share-price-is-now-sitting-at-a-10-year-low\/\">struggling<\/a>: Its value has plummeted over the past four years, and its two big guns for 2024 have misfired. Sales of Star Wars Outlaws were &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/star-wars-outlaws-coming-to-steam-in-november-sales-have-been-softer-than-expected\/\">softer than expected<\/a>,&#8221; and in September Assassin&apos;s Creed Shadows was <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/assassins-creed-shadows-is-delayed-into-2025\/\">delayed at the last minute<\/a> to February 14, 2025, pushing it out of the lucrative holiday season. To help staunch the bleeding, Ubisoft recently announced an internal review of its processes, and confirmed it will make a wholesale <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/ubisoft-comes-crawlin-back-to-steam\/\">return to Steam<\/a> in 2025 after years of rolling with the Epic Games Store.<\/p>\n<p>But these are relatively minor moves in the grand scheme of things, and at this point it&apos;s reasonable to think that investors are looking for more comprehensive structural changes. That, like everything else, is reflected in Ubisoft&apos;s share price, which spiked sharply today following the Bloomberg report: A minor bump in the historical context and still below where the price even in August, but at least it&apos;s movement in the right direction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:72.81%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"DjWhZgg5xKNGtUH7fhHJ2N\" name=\"ubi.jpg\" alt=\"Ubisoft share price as of October 4 2024\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/as-ubisoft-struggles-and-shareholders-sweat-tencent-and-the-guillemot-family-are-reportedly-looking-at-a-buyout.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1398\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Google)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/as-ubisoft-struggles-and-shareholders-sweat-tencent-and-the-guillemot-family-are-reportedly-looking-at-a-buyout\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Bloomberg report says the Guillemot family and Tencent are exploring options for righting the Ubisoft ship, which could include buying out the company and taking it private.
