Seems very fake. If they wanted to sell those, why not to 1st parties? They seem to be desperate to get more studios. Plus, would Ubisoft even be able to buy it in the first place?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Well if 4chan said it, I'm sure it's true.



No reason to believe in news broken on 4chan but on the idea: I don't think this sale is a bad idea. Perhaps SquarEnix would be better off focused on fewer studios. Ubisoft also sounds like a good fit for these IPs.

I wholeheartedly agree since I'm sure they posted a rumor fact that I'm well hung and handsome.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Before people start crying, selling to Ubisoft would not change a thing. Square Enix is exactly as terrible at making games as Ubisoft. They run like crap and are always full of DLCs and microtransactions. I really don't care if it's true or not and I wouldn't worry at all about the quality of the games if it was.

I don't even know what to think. It's hard to decided which one is worse, Square or Ubisoft. I guess there's no winning for those studios.

Assassin's Creed was bad for me until Black Flag (that game was one of the best games ever made for me), then returned to being mediocre until Origins. I've played Origins, Odyssey, and am now playing Valhalla and they are a ton of fun. Also, Mario Rabbids was one of the best games ever me for me as well, so they have two all time great games made in like the last decade for me. Square has Dragon Quest 11 as an utterly fantastic game for me, but I can't think of anything else. I say this to point out that just because a publisher has an overall bad quality output, that doesn't mean they can't make gems with the right team.



Well we had those 'Tomb raider is not selling enough copies' I prefer Ubisoft instead of others like Activision/Amazon or EA...

From the very big publishers Ubisoft is the only one that at least make games I'm interested in playing,
