Ubisoft has been repeatedly cited as an acquisition target itself, linked in particular to Electronic Arts, which snapped up a 20 per cent stake in its rival last December.
Guillemot (pictured), however, was unequivocal on his company’s position: “Let this be clear: we are not for sale,” he asserted. “We think that it’s more in EA’s interest that Ubisoft remains independent and achieves a strong growth of its revenues and earnings.
“That said, sector consolidation is inevitable. In these conditions, if a company offers a strategy and a price satisfactory for staff and shareholders, we will look at it,” he added.
