This nasty EA/Ubisoft merger/takeover business just will not go away. Only a few days after EA CCO Bing Gordon said Ubisoft were still on the menu, Ubisoft boss Yves "sexiest name in gaming" Guillemot has told Gamasutra that, yes, a "merger" (as he calls it) with EA is still on the cards.

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.

Yves, can I call you Yves? Great, Yves, if I may, of the above-mentioned options, number one is great, two is equally great, but the third, not so much. EA are big enough already, thank you kindly. Luke Plunkett
