"That’s what all nepobabies say." Fans left divided over the co-CEO of the new Ubisoft Tencent subsidiary

Ubisoft Tencent's subsidiary has recently appointed Charlie Guillemot as co-CEO, who is also the son of Yves Guillemot, founder and CEO of Ubisoft. The news quickly reached the community through multiple social media platforms, where fans discussed different opinions. Considering that the official blog from Ubisoft emphasizes that the new subsidiary will be focusing on some of the biggest titles, players expressed a few concerns.

Some of the users engaged in an exchange that focused on the fact that Ubisoft has mostly been a family-owned business, and it should not come as a surprise when the son of the CEO is appointed to a high management position. u/pajamajamminjamie commented that instead of denying it, the newly appointed co-CEO should accept and produce work that proves he belongs.

u/echolog discusses how previous generations worked hard to provide a stable background for their children. However, they are called out for nepotism if they manage to become successful. u/randomIndividual21 replied to it with sound reasoning that the concerns raised after Charlie Guillemot partly denied that his father, being the CEO of Ubisoft, did not help him get the position.

While others argued about the appointment of a new co-CEO to the Ubisoft-Tencent subsidiary, a huge chunk of players were simply concerned with the quality of games. u/Dandelegion stated that they do not care about any of this, as long as the company outputs good titles for the community to enjoy.

Reddit user u/WiseCityStepper engaged in the comments and pointed out that Ubisoft, being a family business, would have likely always chosen a member from their family to sit at the top. u/ModestHandsomeDevil replied that the family seems to be running the company into a loss under their leadership and may need to appoint someone else. They also highlight that the company had to accept investments from Tencent to maintain its position.
