Video games industry expert Joost van Dreunen believes Ubisoft will be privatized and dismantling in 2025 as the French company plots takeover failsafe.
I’ve not heard the term privatisation used in this way. This company is already privately owned, just not by a single individual or entity. That’s not the same thing as being publicly owned, at least here in Australia it’s not.
A “public company” is one that has shares that are publicly traded. Common terminology, but yes it is confusing compared to private vs state ownership.
Edit: you’re right though, using “privatisation” is doubly confusing… That’s not so common. Perhaps that’s what you meant!
