So, Ubisoft laid off 71 people, and it’s pretty rough. What’s even more interesting is that 61 of those affected actually voted for the union. I’m really curious to know what Ubisoft’s reasoning is behind this, but all they’ve given us is a really short statement so far.

Now, looking at who’s doing the buying is where it gets interesting. Some are looking solid, proper investors, the type who believe in the…the thing. Others? Well, they look like they’re just trying to catch a rising penny farthing 🚲, which is never a good sign. It could all go wonderfully, or it could just splutter and stall.
