Director of IP development Tommy Francois at Ubisoft calls it "a mistake" to go after companies to get their brands under control, as it's the people who created them that matter.
Ubisoft has learnt this the hard way claims Francois. Mandating smaller acquired studios is not the right approach - it's better to build over time to get the most out of people.

Former Codemasters developer Tim Browne has revealed on his Twitter feed that he will be working on Assassin's Creed III's online multiplayer. Browne's Twitter account now describes him as the "Lead Game Designer on Assassin's Creed 3 Multiplayer @Ubisoft".
Browne had previously worked on two Operation Flashpoint titles: Red River and Dragon Rising. OpFlash is best known for being a hardcore militaristic shooter, which is hardly a similar genre to Assassin's Creed.
