This is something that has been rumored for a very long time, that Ubisoft and Tencent were either going to be combined, Tencent was going to acquire Ubisoft, and then recently, I think it was on a Games Daily that I was on, we talked about the idea that Ubisoft might carve out a portion of their franchises and throw it over to Tencent. How do you feel about this?

This is not surprising at all, but is there anything of interest here in terms of the franchises that are being carved out to you?

I'm so interested to see Tencent's connection to this all, right? Tencent now is a quarter owner of these franchises, essentially, if we're gonna really think about it, right? And they have a lot of say when it comes to the future of these franchises specifically. Not Ubisoft as a whole, but also Ubisoft as a whole, right?

I'm interested to see if these specific franchises start to change in a way that is different or uniquely different than the other sides of Ubisoft, right? I... Oder wenn das alles Ubisoft als Einzelne ändert. Wenn wir einige Entscheidungen machen, bei denen wir mobile Spiele machen. Wir machen Spiele, die auf spezifische Märkte kümmern und das ist der Fokus.

Denn das ist Ten Cents Bag, mobile Spiele, die mobile Arena. Wenn diese Änderungen dann den Rest von Ubisoft beeinflussen, oder wenn sie einfach in dieser einen Kante bleiben und dann sagen, hey, wir machen immer noch Splinter Cell. Wir machen immer noch alle anderen Franchise und wir werden darauf konzentrieren. Ja. Ja. excited to make more and more money as Tencent is.

They're always looking for, hey, how can we close studios? How can we adapt to the mobile market? How can we expand into the free-to-play side of things? This is going to change the future of Ubisoft in a very real way. What is that going to look like?

Ich meine, der schlimmste Fall, ja, ist, dass wir das einfach auf Live-Service machen. Wir machen das in irgendeiner Art und Weise, wo wir die Gerüchte von der animistischen Live-Service-Datei haben, die mit Assassin's Creed passiert ist. Sind das sogar Gerüchte, oder ist das echt? Nein, das ist eine Sache.

Und es gibt noch Gerüchte, dass das sein eigenes Singen sein wird.

Yeah, and we're doing remakes of that, like there's the rumor of a remake of Assassin's Creed 4, right? Like, we're just, we're all over the place with that franchise, and we're gonna get to that same place with Far Cry, in my mind.

We're gonna continuously focus in on expanding those franchises and making that into some type of continuous moneymaker, because, you know, pouring millions and millions of dollars into a one single player release and then trying to find the next one is... Es ist etwas, was ein Investor wie Tencent nicht sehr aufgeregt werden wird. Hey, hier ist ein Billion Dollar.
