Honestly, if Ubisoft is swallowed in its current state – it is not a pity at all. Когда их Vivendi пытались поглотить было как-то боязно, что Ubisoft из-за этого перестанет выпускать хорошие игры. As a result, Vivendi did not absorb them and Ubisoft stopped releasing good games on its own initiative. I am almost 100% sure that in a couple of years they will reach the undisguised release of the Play To Earn games, in which case the difference will be UBISOFT independent or not, the player himself is already secondary for them, the main thing.
