NeoMaster Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 I say Drake has to buy everyone a small tonic... And wow, that's a nice essay there. You didn't have to go educational on his ass.
Mag Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 EA is as worst as microsoft lol, ah heck with them, I'm not a splinter cell fan, so I don't care.
Z-Neo Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 As much as I like EA games, they're getting a bit carried away with all these acuisitions and attempted ones. Was bad enough when I heard that they won the exclusive right to the NFL license, but geez! Also, I thought i read in my latest Game Informer Mag that EA had already purchased 19% of UbiSoft. I don't have the mag around me right now, so i can't verify it for sure.

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Ubisoft has answered to the taking over of their shares by calling it a "hostile act" , so they have asked for financial backup from the french government... Backup was given, but not from the french government, surprisingly from a rival company, Infogrames which stated that they will do whatever it takes to stop this growing hydra.... What I just wrote is official, don't remember the source though...
Gryph Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 ................. /me walks away and goes to a google search engine and trys to find more review on upcoming games<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why don't you Google up some lessons on business and how it works. It'll give you an idea how insanely competative and cut throat the business world is. And what happened to the great zeal of learning to be part of game industry you exhibited a few weeks ago? You may think it's mean, but you should seriously educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself in the real world. Online forums don't matter.
Lucandrake Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) bleh, I just hate being insulted in the manner you so describe as "educational" , makes me feel like your a teacher. bleh , I'll look it up, learn more, makes me a better person, now working for the gaming industry looks alot tougher then just coding.... edit:Thanks alot for slapping me with reality Edited February 18, 2005 by Drake
Gryph Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Hey man, that's how I learned. I would be a failure if I didn't learn algebra in 4th grade and geometry in 5th. No joke. And those tactics worked, I'm glad I was pushed like that. My father always tells me what good is knowledge if you can't teach it to someone. That's the kind of family I have... Where science is a dinner topic, so boring.

What I just wrote is official, don't remember the source though...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Latest Game informer says the situation is being watched by the French government, which regularly helps french businesses in this way. They want to preserve the deals ubisoft has with other french companies, and by extension their own economy, I suppose. Ubsisoft itself is considering a buyout of Eidos as a line of defense. How buying out a crappy company like Eidos is going to save them, I'm not entirely sure. Infogrames has said it is willing to help but (as of the Game Informer writing), nothing solid has been laid down. Chairman Bruno Bonnel told reuters "When Ubisoft has defined the limits within which it is prepared to work, they know we are ready to listen." and "I hope Ubisoft will find ways to defend itself so that Infogrames does not become the last bastion in the European video games community. It would be a pity to see great European creations end up in a relatively hegemonic US conglomerate." While I can't help but imagine he said that first sentence with a sly smile, I can't agree more on the second one. It has also been rumored that Vivendu Universal, also a French company, has made mention of a merger with Ubisoft. This was denied by Vivendi, but it wouldn't surprise me.
