@Tharsman Such an insightful read! Thanks for clarifying in so clear terms.
Yeah I'd say acquisition of publicly traded companies sounds very unlikely with all that context in mind. Also good on Ubi for taking that precaution, entirely possible other publicly traded gaming companies may have added something similar in their clause to prevent hostile takeovers.
I also agree with the Bethesda stuff, Spencer said in an interview they were looking to sell so it makes sense.
Thanks for taking the time to provide such a thorough explanation!
@Tharsman Hey, nice post! I had a question if you don't mind answering since I'm not knowledgable on this subject. So if MS/Sony/etc wanted to buy SE /Ubi etc. and the shareholders don't want to sell it would have to be a hostile takeover, like Vivendi's failed takeover of Ubi in 2015-2018, right? I was wondering what if it's a more Disney/Fox type of deal, that is shareholders agreeing to sell via a friendly takeover?
@BloodNinja Lol this is one helluva coincidence. There's a guy who goes by the username "thevideogameninja" on the comment sections of publications like Polygon, IGN etc. I see him time to time. And like you, he ends his posts with "Video Game Ninja Approved". PFP is short for Profile Picture.

Re: All PlayStation Studios Games on PC
@BloodNinja Guessing you the same person who goes by thevideogameninja on other publications? Never saw you with a pfp before.
And nice for PC folks. I hope Days Gone sells well.
