Ubisoft's Great Turnaround: An Analysis | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 502

Please welcome regular Sacred+ contributor, lawyer, legal analyst, and capital G Gamer Rick Hoeg back to Sacred+. I (Colin) invited Hoeg back to the show to yet again talk business (as we usually do), and his time around (like many times in the past), Ubisoft is our target. It turns out we have quite a bit to discuss on the back of its planned reorg announced this past January. The long-and-short of it is: Can Ubisoft turn things around? Can it survive an evermore competitive marketplace while employing more people than any other entity in the entire industry? Will its new siloed-off studio and IP portfolio pay dividends, attract outside investment, or perhaps crater in under its own weight? Let's talk about the last year-ish of Ubisoft history, how we got to this point, and what the future may or may not hold.
