Ubisoft's shares have plummeted from $100 to somewhere around $5, leading to a 91% decrease in valuation since 2018. Ever since Yves Guillemot has tried to pivot towards Web3 and AI, among consistent disappointments with their releases over the years, people are just not putting their interest in the company's games anymore. This restructuring is probably going to be a last ditch effort for them to save a sinking ship, though I have no idea how they're going to do that. They've cancelled multiple games and shut down two studios so far, delayed several other projects, instated an RTO mandate, and a French union has been quoted as saying that Guillemot "has no knowledge or understanding of his company."

Dark days ahead for Ubisoft.
