Some potentially good news here, some of what sounds like conjecture, but Mathieu (MathChef on YouTube) is uniquely connected in France and has been talking to people at Ubisoft for over 12 years -- but the forum won't allow me to post the YouTube video link...

Aww, PDF is gone... I wanna see it!   🤒

Not sure why I can't see it. BTW, nothing makes you feel old than a daughter going off to college.    

MathChef has had a lot of inside info on the goings on at Ubisoft and posted this interesting video at the end of March: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN_f1NqOhk8
