Yeah, me too. We'll know soon enough exactly where these cuts are coming from. But regardless, sometimes things have to be cut, moved around, or changed.Nah, it's just talking.Different things can be viewed from different perspectives. It is what it is, MS wants ABK and is also cutting jobs, which can be read different ways.
I don't think that works. ABK acquisition is not analogous to increasing costs of essentials. MS aren't having to shell out $70 billion because their current expenses are increasing. If MS doesn't buy ABK, there's no clear, obvious impact to their operations in this difficult economic environment.
You'll have to convince me that MS spending $70 billion on ABK is as important to them as some household spending 20% more on groceries than they did this time last year because they've no choice but to spend that.

Ubisoft's stock price has dropped to €13.82 at the time of writing, with shares continuing to drop over the weekend. Prior to the weekend, Ubisoft was doing slightly better at €15.50 per share. This is the lowest Ubisoft shares have been since 2014 and is a very substantial drop from Ubisoft's pre-pandemic share price.
Ubisoft peaked back in 2018, with shares rising to around €100 per share. That means in the post-pandemic era, Ubisoft has lost over 80% of its market value.
In recent years, Ubisoft has considered selling, but instead opted to stay the course and take on investment from Hedge funds like Blackrock. Ubisoft also took on investment from Tencent in the years prior to avoid a hostile takeover by former Activision parent company, Vivendi.
Do the Stormtroopers shoot you or miss? Is the above a bugged instance?
Wasn't there a clause in the ABK agreement that said they couldn't buy Ubisoft because they licensed the streaming rights to them? Maybe I fever dreamed that.Ubisoft's crisis is an opportunity for MS to buy them, undersell all the ips, close the studios, and nominate Guillemot head of Microsoft Studios.
