On studio's proper name[edit]

Ubisoft has all their financail reports from 2000 onward up [1] and if you go back to that 2000-2001 one [2] you'll see that it has "Ubi Soft Divertissements Inc" , and on pg 49 confirms it was established 1997. This is still used in the most recent report (outside the space-less name). Also if you start looking at business profiles with that name eg [3] it comes up.

While some of the Ubi studies are known as "Ubisoft (city)" there's still a few outliners, eg Ubisoft Shanghai really should be "Shanghai Ubi Computer Software Co. Ltd" (from the 2018 report). --Masem (t) 14:15, 5 October 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Although it makes sense, it still reads like OR a bit, don't you think? Either way, maybe this source could be more suitable. Lordtobi (✉) 14:22, 5 October 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think its reasonable SYNTH - if we know factually that Ubisoft opened up a Montreal studio in 1997 and still owned in through 2001, and their financial statement of 2001 lists that name as the only Canadian development/production entity under them opened in 1997, then that's fair. That source clears up the issue, and I'm sure that Montreal newspapers at the time could fill in more details. --Masem (t) 14:35, 5 October 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
