The best part is " the expansion of mobile platforms" - looks like most of the publishers are likely to hold the mobile market. Maybe it's a few bucks game but all that micropayments can make nice $...

Surprising, but I receive almost every day notifications of positions from the alerts i've set on Ubi and EA's job platforms...

Yeah, ask Supercell. "It generates $2.4 million per day". Edited September 30, 2013 by blackdog

Yeah, that's an insane amount! But check Puzzle & Dragons too ("daily revenue rate of $4.9 million").

 

If I had a company that generated this crazy amount of gold per day, I wouldn't have a company anymore. Work for a day/ week, cancel the game the day next (?), share some millions with the team and then go nuts around the world travelling and #yolo'ing.

Yes, with the thousands of games that generate a few million $ per day you just have to be...wait...did I say thousands? Because I meant a handful.

 

Still, gg Ubisoft!

I'm reading the words "consolidation" and "concentration" in that press release. Sounds to me like other offices will be closed/moved to Montreal in the process.

It's not long before EA and Ubi stops making AAA-tiles and starts doing Candy Crush-ish. We'll probably all end up in that swamp.
