Just read part of the interview with EA's CCO Bing Gordon and it seems that EA might still be interested in buying Ubi...
"I think everybody is for sale. I think in general, successful intellectual properties
in all media are undervalued, especially in our media. There's been a lot of
acquisitions, but the thing about acquisitions is that the only time it works is if
you've got an intellectual property that can succeed without the people, or if the
people have a ten-year career path that they're interested in at EA."
I hope it won't happen (ok this topic as been discussed a lot in the past), I hope Ubi will stay as it is and not be controlled by EA...the companies offer different kind of products and have a different perspective on how to make games.
I like diversity.
What would happen to EA Montreal...seriously if Ubi is bought by EA ... they won't need those two in the same city.
Competition is good! Many companies around just means better opportunities, better options and better benefits ;)

A response from Yves guillemot here:

I'll post the comment here instead:
"Has anything further happened with the EA situation? EA is still talking about how they would like to buy Ubisoft, and I know that's not something you want to happen.
YvesG: We're still considering. The first option for us is to manage our own company and grow it. The second option is to work with the movie industry, and the third is to merge. We think the market is going to grow fast, and we can take a big share of that market, so we don't have to change the way things are done at the moment."
