I løbet af de seneste par år har Ubisoft febrilsk forsøgt at bekæmpe en fjendtlig overtagelse af det gigantiske mediefirma Vivendi. Vivendi har langsomt opkøbt flere og flere aktier, og Ubisoft mener at de ikke ville kunne gebærde sig lige så kreativt, når et gigantisk firma bestemmer.
I endnu et forsøg på at forsvare sig har Ubisoft udtalt til PCGamersN, at firmaet simpelthen ikke ville blive det samme under Vivendi-ledelse:
"The thought I have is that I have been [here], with Ubisoft, for 20 years, and I know what made us so successful for 30 years, is being super independent, being very autonomous.
"[On] sales, well sometimes we take a lot of risk, you think about The Crew, that was a risk. People would look at that like, 'maybe it's not going to work, another racing game, what are you thinking?' Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, all those kinds of titles." har Ubisofts Anne Blondel sagt.
