Day one for sure. I loved Max Payne 1 and 2 back in high school and I loved Max Payne 3 when it came out and still do. I still believe Max Payne 3 is the best third person shooter ever made in terms of gameplay. The story was not half bad either.
Max Payne 1 and 2 with Remedy’s latest technology can only be amazing. Let’s hope they use Sam Lake for Max again. And still include Captain Baseball Bat Boy.
Ah, such great memories. I loved the trilogy as well, but the first 2 games really don’t hold up well. Having a Control-quality Max Payne would be a dream come true!
Could be. He bought in at below $40, price jumped to over $50 on the news, and settled a little lower now. Still not near it’s mid 2021 highs though. If he was going to dump his holdings, he should have waited a little longer for the price to creep back into the $50+ zone before declining the board position - price is down almost 4% on Friday’s close already.
Or maybe he’s planning to buy a larger stake instead of being capped at 15%. Thought this article is quite funny about how the employees are “stressed out” on their day off and employees “helping each other to get through the week”.
Bloomberg reporting rumour that some major investment firms are starting to look at acquiring Ubisoft. The original article is paywalled, so here’s Kotaku’s summary:
With Ubi and Microsoft recently getting cosy with some Ubisoft games coming to Game Pass, persistent rumours of Sony about to make a “major acquisition”, the long running relationship between Ubi and Epic Games, and the existing involvement in Ubisoft by Tencent, a buyout by a private equity investor is pretty much on brand for Ubisoft at the moment.
Sounds like MS haven’t put their shopping trolley away just yet either…
the winning candidate’s responsibilities will include “supporting strategic decisions with quantitative and qualitative rigor”, identifying “key consumer / technology / business” trends and “developing and evaluating the business case for content & technology acquisitions (M&A)”.
