Surely, a Chinese takeover of a major game publisher would warrant intervention by european government authorities.

Yeah we also just REALLY need to protect every game company at this point because Tencent seemingly has infinite pockets and China sure isn’t upset about that.

Yeah, protection from companies from hostile countries or just plain old anti-trust protection - France/EU can take their pick.

Because they’re already a major shareholder of Ubisoft. And they’re the only one willing to fork over cash for this failing company since they have a lot to lose if they let it continue its course.
