A few days old, but I didn’t see it pop up at the time and it slipped by me.

    Well reading the letter at face value: it seems the intent is based on the investor asserting that the current owners are delaying games to keep the share price low in order to buy up a greater percentage of the company (said owners apparently only have a 25% stake). Therefore, they’re actively preventing other investors investments from growing in order to grow their share of the company on the cheap—very much against the duty of a publicly traded company.

    The title makes this seem more ridiculous than it potentially is. Though it could also just be hot air from the investor

      No one can accuse Ubisoft of completing a game before release.

    Man, I was kinda expecting the grammar in the letter to at least be, if not elegant, then at least business professional? This reads like a 4chan hoax, and not one of the good ones. wtf.

      Nur just grammar, but also the points:

      Latest release of Star Wars Outlaws is expected to bring good numbers, but recent reviews shows that game was not 100% ready to release, despite the fact that whole world was waiting for open-world game under the Star Wars franchise. The Metacritic rating was 76% and IGN has 7/10 rating, which is quite good rating in our view.

      Great analysis lol

      I think english is likely not the writer’s native language. Still you’d think he’d get someone to edit given he probably has serious cash.
