Ubisoft is doing pretty well as a company and with success comes big piles of green stuff (although in Ubi's case it's multicolored since they do everything in Euro's). Having big stacks of money lying around means that you can afford to do things like buy other companies and that is something that Ubi is thinking
about. It looks like already have their eyes on three potential acquisitions in varying sizes.
The fun thing to remember about Ubisoft is that EA is their largest shareholder and could be
bought by the game giant at any time.
