    I guarantee private equity is circling them like a flock of buzzards smelling death. This is why they’re preemptively making the same actions that a private equity company would do after acquisition, layoffs, restructuring “bold new plans” and a bunch of lip-service to inflate value before divvying up any resources of value like licenses and senior programmers to form a new brand, and throwing the rest away.

      I’m actually cool with this. They really have been ignoring a large swath of Tom Clancy shit, and I feel assassin’s Creed just isn’t as cool and interesting as it used to be. Not to mention Prince of Persia which they seem to have completely abandoned. I would love it if private equity came in and sold all their ips to other houses.
