As I said, the company is as healthy as the likes of Square Enix, Konami, or Sega. You might as well think SE is in trouble after Rebirth flopping (though AC will still sell at least double or triple of a FF game).

That headline is kind of misleading because Ubisoft was highly inflated during the pandemic. It's a meaningless metric, especially considering the stock is undervalued now by maybe 40%. I get that grave dancing became popular among the toxic internet game culture, but your concerns are unwarranted.

So the 17-19 thousand employees are in danger. Same thing.

Convince me the employees are safe, I could give a fuck about the company. 

Si.

Are they in existential danger? Nope.

Are they at risk of major layoffs? Absolutely. Between Skull & Bones, Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: FoP, Watch Dog Legions, Ubisoft has been bleeding cash for years. The last huge success they had was The Division 2 in 2019, with nothing since then being a confirmed 5+ million seller (though the AC games likely HAVE sold decently).

Thing is, even relatively small layoffs from Ubisoft would be notable given how huge their number of employees is. They've already bled 2,000 jobs since 2022, and there are another 19,000 to lose.

Haven't watched it yet, thought I'd post though. 

:(

France has better labor laws than the US, like Japan, so employees are less likely to be fired on a whim, but layoffs are a fact of life in this industry. The turnover rate in the game industry is almost 23%.

There's more going on, the more I look into it the more complicated the situation is. There's internal strife in leadership. 

Danger of getting bought out maybe. For having 20,000 employees, they have little money compared to other major publishers.
