It moves the valuable IPs into a separate entity that Tencent has a hefty stake in now and that Tencent can fully acquire later once the investors who own "OG" Ubisoft shares are distracted with some other stupidity. It's just a slower flavor of hostile takeover, while ridding themselves of the less valuable properties.Kind of. They set up a new company specifically for AssCreed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six, and Tencent owns a 25% stake in that on top of whatever they already own of Ubisoft.
Not sure what this was intended to accomplish (except maybe distract Tencent from their aggressive pursuit of buying Ubisoft outright,) but given Shadows' stillbirth, Far Cry being on unofficial hiatus and Rainbox Six doing nothing but Siege for a decade it feels like delaying the inevitable.
