An Ubisoft investor is claiming it has support of at least 10% of the shareholders as it looks to force a sale and/or executive changes.

I'd argue that they have already lost the trust of gamers in general. After several bad or mid releases of games that all feel the same, people are moving on from it. What they need is a game that is a quality hit in the same way that something like AC2 was.My personal opinion, whether the statement is true regarding the 10% of share holders or not, the statement was definitely enough to open the closet on a lot of Ubisoft skeletons.
Internal strife in way of a strike,
(which I side with Ubisoft about. If I told my boss I wouldn't come into the office, I'd be unemployed before the last of those words left my mouth. They don't want to be part of a team, find those who do. There may be those who say Im wrong but at least Ubisoft is trying something to save itself from drowning),
pushing back the launching of ac shadows.
It's been a month and we have yet to see any significant patches to the multiple bugs in Star Wars Outlaws.
I do believe the statement that Ubisoft pushes to please their investors rather than their buying public.
Selling off to a private agency I don't believe is the answer. All that will do is hide more effectively the state of the company than being in the public eye of the stock exchange.
The fact is, for me, Ubisoft must do something, they've lost the trust and respect of those who buy and use their product.
Hiding behind the blanket of privacy isn't going to help the situation.
Ubisoft has lost it's heart. From the ceo to the developers. Buck passers and lazy developers.
Fix the servers, fix the bugs in games, start being proud about what Ubisoft produces and how they maintain it.
Bottom line, whether the 10% is true or not, If Ubisoft doesn't regain the trust of the gamers, and soon, I'm afraid Ubisoft will soon be no more than a fading memory on the tapestry of the gaming industry.
