[edit] Official company name

As of the late 2003 logo change, Ubi Soft Entertainment has been changed to Ubisoft Entertainment, as multiple employees have confirmed to me. Might want to move the article to "Ubisoft". Otherwise, we should decide upon a convention on whether to link to "Ubi Soft", "UbiSoft" or "Ubisoft" (see "What links here")... Chucker 11:06, 2004 Jun 6 (UTC)

I agree that "Ubisoft" would be a better title now. When I created the article, the logo had changed but nearly every reference to the name on their website was still "Ubi Soft". I don't think it's very important whether people link to "Ubi Soft" or "Ubisoft", as long as one redirects to the other. --Mrwojo 13:43, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I double-checked with Ubisoft's corp website; the press releases before and after the logo change confirm it. Done. I left the links as-is, but some now redirect from UbiSoft to Ubi Soft to Ubisoft; if anyone has a slow news day, they might want to fix that. Chucker 15:25, 2004 Jun 6 (UTC)

[edit] Morrowind

I've added Morrowind to the list of games published by Ubisoft. I'm guessing because the Morrowind article (The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind) states Bethesda as publisher as well as developer, that Bethesda published the game in North America.

Regardless, both the original game and Game of the Year edition that I bought here in Ireland, were published by Ubisoft. I'll double-check re: the xbox version (a family member has that).

[edit] Upcoming games published by Ubisoft

Should Assassins Creed have Xbox 360, PC, and Wii by the side of this since it has not been confirmed (nor fully denied by Ubisoft) that it is coming out of these platforms. Plus I don't think there has been any speculation for it even coming out for the Wii (probably because if it's controller it would require heavily modifying). If everyone agrees just change it.--Gamer2325 19:31, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

As a temporary fix I've entered not confirmed in brackets next to all the platforms apart from PS3.--Gamer2325 19:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Should the new Rayman game really be listed as December? It should be on the same date as Red Steel right? Arn't they both launch titles for Wii? Cody-schmidt

[edit] List of games

The list of games sections on the Ubisoft article are far larger than the rest of the article. Anyone think that the list of games should be moved to its own page? Mankind 2k 18:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Yup it needs to be separated. --SkyWalker 12:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

It is done. --SkyWalker 07:09, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PowerReg Scheduler

My spyware detection program says that the PowerReg Scheduler is adware. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this?? Ks0stm (talk) 20:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Come on, why is this in wikipedia? I delete it, it is not encyclopedic. Mallerd (talk) 18:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Why do you think it is not encyclopedic? You have newspaper articles all over the place that talk about Wikiscanner and what corporations do to edit Wikipedia in their own favor. -- Erlang01 (talk) 11:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I second OP, I actually came to delete it myself but I'm happy to see that someone else agrees that it is unneccessary. It seemed more like the Wikicommunity was trying to laugh at a higher authority because what we have isn't real authority. Put simply: it appeared to be there simply as a taunt. Pathetic behaviour.

[edit] Ubisoft cat

someone would make it (games, companies) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.234.60.154 (talk) 12:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Official pronunciation

This Wikipedia article says that the correct pronunciation of Unisoft is oo-be-soft. But, according to this explanation, the correct pronunciation is you-bee-soft. However many of the comments of the article also point out that its French founders may not have said it that way. Do we need to edit this page? --Barosl (talk) 12:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Latin root, perhaps?

"Ubi" means "where" in Latin. Making Ubisoft's definition "where soft," or through logic, "software." Has anyone else noticed this? I think it is neat. 72.240.177.210 (talk) 19:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
