Kotaku’s super sleuth Superannuation has revealed that Ubisoft currently has over 9,000 employees and may be the largest video game company. Ubisoft’s corporate website lists that the company has 9,200 plus employees, 7,800 plus serve in a production related role. In contrast EA, which is often thought of the largest video game company, has 9,370 employees, but the company saw a number of high-profile layoffs in 2013.
Ubisoft Now Has Over 9,000 Employees, May Be Largest Video Game Company
How else are they gonna (ugh) “make an Assassin’s Creed game every year”?
yet nintendo 5000 people making mario games every month.
Yeah like… Mario 3D World and…. and… yeah every month
;P
every mario vc game a month. exposed
vc?
Virtual Console, but those aren’t even new Mario games. :/
Yeeeaaah, I have no idea why he thought VC games count as “new” games.
It took 5000 of them to release nearly 25 years old Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Wii-U.
….still that stupid are you? Pity.
Sure…
Can you hand me the milked box one, Oh I’m sorry, I mean the x station?
9,000 Employees for make generic game AC ALL YEAR”! WHAT A WASTE……………………………=/
Hey! Making a generic EACH YEAR takes talent!
IT’S OVER 9000!
This is why I came here.
I guess someone had to do it. lol
How typical of what the comment section will be like. XD
how many are cleaners etc ;p
Just imagine how long the credits are gonna be…
Ubisoft game credits are always long. I think Rayman Legends’ credits took a good 30 minutes to roll through. At least, it felt that way. The same with a few of the more recent AC games. lol
And yet the baby company Nintendo fails to meet the demand for AAA wii u titles
And you fail to meet the demand of making AAA insults.
woo now we have a pc fanboy in this web site.
Awwwww, jealous my PC ass stomps your low-end PC disguised as a console? Does it just rustle your jimmies Xbot? You don’t have to hide your butthurt from me, we all know you are already.
lmao xbox 360 has witcher 2 and xbox one is getting witcher 3. pc got no exclusives.
The PC has plenty of exclusives if you know where to look. The Civilization Series, Total War, and don’t forget that Call of Duty started off on the PC.
call of duty 2 is on xbox 360.
The first Call of Duty was on PC.
All COD games are on PC also retard.
We have witcher 3, it looks many times better on our system than your pathetic console with weak specs, not only that you said you cared about third party more than exclusives, now it’s the other way around? You fail at life.
Destroy GLaDOS! Lemme hear your sarcasm so that I can destroy you!
Xbox is a gimped PC of a very old x86 architecture (older than PowerPC in Wii U) and its made from Microsoft..a PC giant.
Of course any and all big Xbox games is also on PC (Windows) you fucking idiot.
idiot, PC is the best of all gaming. It don’t need exclusives to stomp the consoles.
pathetic pc’s. console gaming will always be better than pc.
Though I agree in my own way but you can’t deny the PC being superior in every way possible to the consoles, Xbox is closest to the PC in a gaming console but PC still beats it…what’s more, its actually from a PC company. Admit it, and you’ll grow stronger…
Then why does my PC fulfill all the standards of your pathetic excuse for game console 300 times better than your obsolete box of inferiority. Double standards much? Exposed.
You have exclusives anyway
It ain’t even a gimped PC. IDK WTF Xbox One is trying to be: DVR, Blu-Ray, TV Cable Box, Betamax or even a bomb.
Its has not only an identity crisis but technical issues like being 1080p-less.
Because unlike Ubisoft and other 3rd party douchebags, they don’t milk their ahit every year for snatch and grab cash schemes.
I rather wait 3 years for a well polished game worrh ever penny than annual rushed DLC-like trash that’s still far incomplete by launch day and await dozens of updates to finish the crappy product and then the companies rinse and repeat under your nose.
At this point, Nintendo is the smart and patient one. You wanna waste $140 on an incomplete software with DLC-like updates from the last game from last year? That’s your business and a dumbass one.
Is that so? Then, when was the last time Nintendo showed us a new first party franchise, or even title? Nintendo has been using the same franchises for over 20 years now, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about when you say “Nintendo ain’t milking anythang!!”. I think the very best example that proves you wrong on that are all the New Super Mario Bros. games that came out year after year. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Nintendo is after quick cash grabbing just as much as others. They know Mario, TLOZ & Co. sell like hotcakes, that’s why you’ll get to see lots and lots of them for many many more years.
you exposed him soo hard.
Just like how I exposed how pathetic your Xbox is compared to my PC.
That’s actually true, but didn’t miyamoto said that he was working on a new IP? No one still doesn’t know what it is and it was said that he will view it at E3 of this year…or so the rumor I hear. Thing is, you are correct but we still have no clue of what the future will bring us, and Project Ocean or as you all know it, Quality of Life (QOL), is still a mystery itself…for all we know, it can be the fusion I keep hearing about or a somewhat a few new IP (yeah, I know, wishful thinking there, but I know its not), thing is…you will never know the future.
Dam, its been a long time since I talked like that when I first got here.
Getting a new IP after such a long time doesn’t really make up for 30 years of Mario, honestly. But yes, at least it’s something. Better than nothing, after all.
And about that QOL thing, well, as you said, it is a mystery and nobody really knows what it is or what to even imagine it might be. All we can do is wait and see. But I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one who wishes to see some diversity from Nintendo, instead of seeing the same franchises over and over and over and over again. It’s not like I’m saying that all Mario games or all TLOZ games are bad, not at all, I just think it’s high time for Nintendo to show us new things.
Or bring back some of their older IP’s to rid of such boredom I agree.
NintendoLand, Wonderful 101, Rusty Real Deal Baseball, and Harmoknight.
Nintendoland, a game consisting of a bunch of minigames. Minigames based on, guess what, franchises they have been using for 10-30 years.
Wonderful 101 is not a first party title, it was developed by Platinum games.
Yes, Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball is a first party title, but it’s not really one of Nintendo’s “bigger” games. Still, you are right about that.
Harmoknight was developed by Game Freak, so it is not a first-party title.
I don’t know about that one on game freak…
Then, when was the last time Nintendo showed us a new first party franchise, or even title?
-Nintendo Land (2012)
-Kid Icarus: Uprising (An entirely new version of an old IP)
—Pushmo/Crashmo (1st party)
-X (Soon: New IP by Monolith Soft)
You know, it’s impossible to make a franchise that rivals Mario, Zelda or Metroid in less than 5 years. So, it’s pretty normal from a business point of view to ”milk” a franchise that works while trying to establish new ones at the same time. When you say Nintendo don’t make new IP, it just shows your lack of awarenesse about the said ”new IP”
I don’t think you can call Nintendoland “new”, since it’s a collection of minigames based on old franchises.
You said it yourself, Kid Icarus is an -old- first-party franchise.
Pushmo yes, but it’s not really one of Nintendo’s bigger titles, which are what I was getting at. But you are still right about it.
X is a second-party title, not first-party. It isn’t being developed by Nintendo, but Monolith Soft, as you’ve already said.
And not being able to make a new franchise in less than 5 years is not an excuse to what Nintendo has been doing, in my opinion. It’s not like Nintendo, TLOZ, Metroid were created just 5 or 10 years ago. The first Mario game debuted 30 years ago. Think about that. They’ve been using Mario for more than 3 decades.
They had plenty of time over the years, especially in the last 10 years, to give us something new. But they haven’t.
By the way, I wasn’t talking about IPs, but first-party titles. IP doesn’t necessarily mean first-party title. Seeing that you don’t make a difference between IP and first-party shows me -your- lack of awareness and knowledge about “new IPs”.
Only thing you got wrong, Monolith Soft is first party.
Thanks for letting me know, I didn’t know that.
”As of May 6, 2007, Nintendo owned controlling interest in the company after Namco Bandai sold 80% of its 96% stake in Monolith Soft to Nintendo. This went into effect May 1, 2007.[2] Later Namco sold the remaining 16%, making Monolith Soft a first-party developer for Nintendo.”
And you know, by definition a ”-new- first party franchise” is a new IP.
However, it’s not the same story if you mean a ”new first party franchise or title specifically made by a Nintendo development team”
I didn’t know that about Monolith Soft, thanks for telling. Sorry about that, I take back what I said in my previous comment.
And yes, a new first-party franchise is an IP. But not every IP is a first-party franchise/title.
The Wonderful 101.

A bunch of Wii games you dont even fucking no exist because they’re in Japan.
The list goes on. Nintendo makes New IP’s all the damn fucking time and they experiment will all current existing IP’s. How many times has kirby changed his style yo?

They must be terminated at once…

MyNintendoNews, what does the scouter say about Ubisoft’s employee count?
That number is big indeed, but is not because they have the most developers out there, it is because they are everywhere, they have office in every mayor country, most of them for PR, localitation teams, legal team and other kind of job not related to the field of making games.
That is why I think Nintendo should buy them.
So much milking.
just like nintendo and their second parties.
And just like all of EA, king of greed and video game milking.
No, Xbox- I mean sony is king of that shit, EA is just another ho trying to do the same thing.
Sony..king of greed..when they’re losing money and was never nominated worse company before…you ain’t fooling me.

Pingback: Ubisoft Now Has Over 9,000 Employees, May Be Largest Video Game Company | Curiosidades na Internet
Now here’s what I seriously don’t understand about this capacity.
If there is a total of 9,200 employees/developers, then WTF Ubisoft decided to delay Wii U games like Watchdogs and Rayman if they have more than enough hands to finish the version with every other consoles?
I’ll tell you why, Ubisoft is another shitlist 3rd party wanting to see Wii U fail by making games and then delay them to piss the fans off to make them turn away and have an excuse to stop supporting and I for one, just like with Rayman Legends, know Wii U Watchdogs is as good as finished like the other versions. Its Ubisoft stabbing Nintendo in the back and that’s why I ain’t buying their fucking games anymore. I’m not that stupid to not figure them out and what they’re planning.
They probably have 5500 of them working on how to betray our empire…
True. I’m trying to destroy the Valve Admiral, GLaDOS. Think you can do it?
Why should I?…
He is an ally to me…
Then why aren’t there Nintendo games on Steam? Why Sega?
Because our empire doesn’t want it, it’s not the Steambot’s decision…
Fine. Where’s the Sony General and Microsoft Major?
Probably fighting eachother, like they should, leaving us alone to increase our Power…
Yes… I’m pretty much the juggernaut of Sega. I’m ultimate. I’ve never wanted an Xbox or PlayStation or something. Nintendo was the way to go.
Nice, I remember when we were at war a long time ago…
It’s nice to finally be allied against the unfactuals…
WHAT 9000!?!
I see how you would need a ton of people to rehash the same games twice a year with little to no changes or creative input.
I can believe it. I didn’t think that the credits on Assassin’s Creed III would EVER get finished rolling.
