[Fake]

lmao

 

[StueyDuck]

nah... if anything tie up Koji or something they work with.

But hard no, stop buying things you idiot corpos. that would be how i would tell them to compete

 

[Winter John]

I ain’t the biggest Sony fan, especially this gen, but even I wouldn’t recommend they buy that shitty company. CDPR? Sure. FROM? Absolutely. Ubisoft? Lol. Fuck no. Ubi are trash.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

lol. Ubisoft is such a mess that nobody wants to touch it

 

[Masterofchapter]

Tsushima laughs at any Ubisoft game

Lol ac 3 runs circles around ghost of tsushima thats PS3 game

You know how they say "you never go full retard"?

David Jaffe is an omega-tier retard. This dude goes full retard on a weekly basis.

Imagine being like 40+ years old in 2024, and trying to use the term “retard” as an insult

 

[Sorcerer]

Xbox hasn't won a thing. 10 years to build up to one very good showcase? What about the next decade? We've seen some of these games year after year and some still have no release date.
All Sony needs to do is get the big games out soony.

Now if were talking the number of color variations for controllers than Xbox is King and leaves PlayStation in the dust.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'd like to think Sony has their eyes on better things that aren't Ubisoft related.

That's why I like listening to him whenever he does a livestream. I especially love his conversations with this guy pturtle, this guy pturtle schools him everytime they argue lol

 

[FewRope]

Jaffe is quite literally one of the most pathetic human being I have ever seen in my life

 

[LakeOf9]

"Complete"? They're already winning...

 

[Jesb]

That would have been a better buy than bungie. I mean anything would’ve been better.

 

[Varteras]

Buy Ubisoft for a few billion, just to fire probably tens of thousands, maybe even close some of their existing studios, to take on a company with a deserved lame reputation. Just because they had a decent hype show.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Jaffe still think the game is # of games. Therefore he thinks PlayStation needs more studios to compete in a # of games race.

That's not the game anymore. The game is building juggernauts.

I don't even know how he came to that conclusion. Like, did he not just witness the closure, consolidation, and spinoffs of 5 studios by Microsoft? Did he not read their words that they want to focus on their big franchises? Has he not seen the state of the games Xbox has been putting out?

[GHound]

What would I ever do without more of that style of game Sony's first party line up is lacking? Third person, over the shoulder, action adventure games that target photo realism in a "wide linear" or open world environment.

 

[DJ12]

Disagree with that, but he is a one hit wonder.

No one would listen to Toto’s view on the current music scene.

Didn't he do twisted metal also? That be a 2 hit wonder. Like Ugly Kid Joe

He’s gotta be talking financially here… right? (I’m not reading it).

I mean shit, if Sony could buy a big publisher/developer, keep those games everywhere, rake in the cash to afford the high production value of their exclusive “core” first party games. Last thing to do would be to laugh all the way to the bank……. I mean this is what Microsoft has to be doing right? It sounds like a win win situation not only for shareholders/investors, the company as a whole and us the gamers.

When it’s all said and done, the only thing these companies care about is the companies bottom line.

Why buy anything when you can get 30% for simply letting others sell their junk on your platform.

Jaffe cashing in his designer creds for youtuber subs again?

 

[Trunx81]

Imagine buying Ubi Soft, but the merger documents include 1.000 random tasks like “find all 100 feathers”

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Rayman's gravestone will be moved to the Playstation platformer graveyard.

 

[bender]

How does that help anything?

PlayStation would finally get Ubisoft games!

 

[ReBurn]

I still believe in you @davidjaffe

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

 

[THE DUCK]

Would Gaf condemn them for buying thier way to the top though?

 

[Trogdor1123]

Its precisely that thought process that will lead to Microsoft eating their lunch eventually. While they're celebrating all their past achievements Microsoft is creating a lineup that at some point will be undeniable by even their biggest detractors

 

[Varteras]

Would Gaf condemn them for buying thier way to the top though?

Would you support them?

 

[Topher]

Would Gaf condemn them for buying thier way to the top though?

Ain't they already on top?

 

[Deerock71]

Both power-hungry, graphics-overvaluing, 120fps-lusting consoles are about to go through some prolonged constipation, anyway. Adding Ubisoft into Sony's bowels would be like eating a half-pound cheeseburger after eating a wheel of aged cheddar with fries. Best for Microsoft and Sony to strap themselves onto the toilet seat, put their mouthpiece in, and bear down on delivering some breached butt-babies.

I honestly figured they would own Square Enix at this point, but that never happened.

Konami, Capcom, Sega, and Square would only sell in the most dire of circumstances. They're all essentially family businesses. I used to think one of them would be bought, until I looked more into how they're operated and by whom.

 

[Robot Carnival]

good lord no! that's the last thing I want as a long time PlayStation owner. Ubisoft had not had anything I'm interested in for years now. especially after their NFT attempt and how terrible Shadows is when compare to Ghost Of Tsushima, I want nothing to do with them.

 

[DryvBy]

What are her hands made of to knock out a soldier like this?

 

[SHA]

Erase their anti consumer behavior before even thinking about it.

Isn't Sega owned by Sammy? I thought Sammy was trying to unload Sega at one point. I could be wrong of course.

 

[Audiophile]

Gonna go against the tide a bit here.

The state of Ubisoft right now is likely a reflection of management. I think there's a lot of talent there that's under the thumb of that bad management and a bunch of bad decisions. While I'm not saying Sony are great right now I'd still argue they're probably better equipped to take the reigns. The pull here isn't what they're doing now, but lots of big IP, lots of resources, lots of embedded talent and a lot of longer term potential.

Sony bought Bungie for $3.7B in value and got Destiny, Marathon and a bunch of live service infrastructure/expertise.

Ubi could probably be had a tiny bit cheaper. To acquire the following IP: Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Tom Clancy (R6, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and more..), Just Dance, The Crew, Watch_Dogs, Trials, Trackmania, Anno, Settlers & much more. Possibly licenses such as Avatar, Monopoly (lol..), South Park, TMNT & Uno, And of course, multiple large studios with a vast amount of resources.

Not saying I'm for it again, but relatively speaking it's not an unreasonable concept from their perspective. I think Ubisoft are cheap right now.

 

[sharp weiner]

Y’all need to show some respect to the Jaf.
Kindergarten level opinion he shared, but he is a legend.

 

[Varteras]

Sega Sammy is run by the Satomi family. And they've already publicly denied an interest in seeing Sega bought.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Drugs...

 

[jwaxeman]

As much as I’d love to see what Ghost Recon could look like with Sony AAA budget, there’s so much messy baggage with Ubisoft and they haven’t really made compelling games in many years. Everything is a sequel trending down. Except for the Star Wars game, which is already getting bad previews.

 

[Bernardougf]

 

[Rentahamster]

Isn't Playstation already competing without having to buy Ubi?

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I unsubbed from his channel. I can not stand how he works his dog shit crack pot politics into every topic. He's hypocritical, egotistic, and obnoxious. He and his ilk literally are contributing to the downfall of western civilization. He's unhinged, bat shit crazy, and everything wrong with the left. I'll leave it at that.

 

[darrylgorn]

Boomer edgelord lol

 

[THE DUCK]

Would you support them?

I dont really care, I don't take it as personally as some people. Sony has purchased companies before. Plus it's ubisoft, it's more likely to get better than worse.
