Ubisoft Says: EA, Take Me Now!

"We are not safe from a hostile action from Electronic Arts, which it would be difficult to block if they make a genuinely interesting offer".

This is a statement made by CEO Yves Guillemot for the French newspaper Les Echos.
Which means the danger from an EA takeover of Ubisoft is real, although Ubisoft proved over the years to be a very successful
game publisher with very good titles released.

Guillemot believes that Ubisoft have enough strength to shrug off a takeover offer, but admits: "If somebody is interested in our competitive advantages and this person is willing to pay for those at their right price, then we will choose what is best for our shareholders and our employees."

This sounds not like an warning, but more like an offer.
