and i kinda... agree? Ubisoft with a right quality control can be a beast in delivery of games, we would probably have 5+ singleplayer games every year
David Jaffe says Sony should buy Ubisoft

Disgusting, zero value added for PlayStation players since we already have access to all their trashy games.
Ubisoft stinks, but Sony bean counters would likely go for what they see as a value buy instead of going for quality.
Capcom, Square Enix, From Software, all of these are much better purchases if they are going after a publisher.

Who cares what that washed up clickbait loser has to say?
I'm one of the few people here that actually likes Ubisoft and even I don't think this is a good idea.
And Sony isn't competing with Microsoft anymore, they're not competing with anyone anymore since PlayStation is now run by incompetent, spineless hacks.

Maybe they are competing with MS in the sense that both are trying to become big third party publisher.
PlayStation is competing with Nintendo and Valve regardless if Sony wants to accept this reality or not.
GOW creator who's asshurt that his own creation became much more popular without him.
I know many people don't like Ubisoft but they would be great... with the right plan.
I would however prefer a combination of From soft and Square, because trying to give Ubisoft games a soul / stronger individual identity than they have.
The Crew could be fantastic if the Polyphony devs helped with handling of cars and physics for instance.
AC could be better if SP helped improve combat...
This type of stuff.

Ubisoft is a shit company and most of their games are trash, why would Sony buy them?
Yup! Ubisoft has so many good IP's but they just need some fine tuning. As you mentioned with The Crew it's a great game in concept and execution but I truly can't deal with the weightless floaty feeling of the controls.
I've always thought they'd be a good buy. They just need some quality control to be great again
The issue with Ubisoft is that they are too big and Sony would need to clean house and implement different leadership/culture/management, and right now Sony is trying to figure itself out in the context of AAA single player and GaaS.

well, Hermen Hulst hates Japanese devs, so i don't see it happening

yeah, but Ubisoft under Sony's quality control would be good too, Capcom won't sell cause they're doing fine, SE is a must and so is From Software, but i don't have faith in modern Sony to recognize the greatness both could offer together
Send me in, I'll sort them out.
You're right though... it would need to clear tons of management, cut some projects and even one or two teams, vertical integration of all support roles... HR, PR, publishing, accounting etc.
Gonna say what I always said about Xbox: Sony shouldn't acquire anything, PS is run by incompetent weaklings. There's no point in acquiring when you have awful leadership like Hulst.
It would be a solid investment. Buy it, gut it, lean it.

Ubislop have some good franchises and I reckon their AC would be better
Ubisoft would probably be a terrible influence for Sony and make them even worse. Sony games are already too inspired by Ubisoft games for my taste.
To me, the choice is clear: don't waste money with them; instead, put all that cash into trying to get From software.
