Ubisoft has a lot of financial problems, so their stock is very cheap at the moment. Do you think that Microsoft should buy them? Ubisoft has a lot of popular franchises like Assassin Creed, Far Cry, Tom Clancy etc and they also are making a lot of licensed games like Avatar or Star Wars. They seem to have a huge management problem with a lot of delays, internal tension among their studios, bad timing and budgeting, and a lot of cancelled games that hurt their profits. The excutives of Ubisoft have said that they are willing sell the company for aqcuisition. Ubisoft has 40 studios and 19.000 employees. It's a true powerhouse that can boost XBOX and gamepass' content. XBOX has already 40 studios if you combine all the Bethesda/Activision Blizzard workforce along with the xbox studios. Having Ubisoft, the XBOX could be a true giant with over 80 studios and almost 40.000 manpower. XBOX will have enough content to support game pass for the whole year. Also, I believe that Phil Spencer can solve the management problem on Ubisoft, and make them produce better game in the future.

I’ve seen how too much consolidation can make things feel samey across games, which worries me a bit. I like variety in game design and tone. I use https://minecraftshader.com/complementary-reimagined-shaders/ to tweak textures and visuals in Minecraft just to keep things fresh, so I’d hate to see creativity stifled by everything being under one umbrella.
