Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Ubi is struggling, yes, but going private isn't the same as going out of business, and selling their IPs won't help them in any meaningful way.

Agreed, I'm pretty sure Mark Kern is talking shit as per usual. Don't see what logic there is in Ubisoft selling off their best performing IPs like Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six, Lol. It'd put them in an even worse position and make them even less desirable to suitors. It's not like they're right on the edge of closure, they're just struggling.

The only credible rumour right now is that Tencent and Ubisoft are trying to work out a way to make the company private, Yves is aiming to make the company private but still wants to retain control (aka nothing will change because he is the problem) but Tencent wants more control in the company if they help Ubisoft do this, it's also reported that Tencent is willing to be patient with Yves because they don't want this to be seen as a hostile takeover which is pretty fair to Yves...More than he deserves after screwing up, but Tencent's patience is probably more to do with regulators.

If Tencent is willing to help Yves out then I don't see it going any other way than Tencent/Yves taking the company private.
