Even (especially ?) without having any information from the inside (such communications are strictly controlled for a publicly traded company) it was incredibly irritating seeing the wild level of speculation and engagement baits in this and how it generated stress for colleagues.
NEW: Ubisoft has not been sold, nor has it collapsed.
The week-long delay in its corporate earnings, the subject of much speculation, was due to--are you sitting down?-- financial reporting technicalities regarding two unspecified partnerships.

Extremely happy for the Anno team, and big congratulations to Anno's and my own teams !

Evergreen 1993 song:
"But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand
Acts of aggression, they say they're justified
It seems an obsession has started from the inside
[..]
Protecting your freedom now that's just a lie
It's an excuse for power that's more like an alibi"
