At least that's what is being said in this Reuters article. It sounds like the whole thing was a lot of bark with little bite. :(

The French government "helped" by surrendering. EA now owns France.
LOL at expecting help from France. I mean, when has that ever happened?
The Franco-Prussian War, France got the Sedatenland.
You're thinking of Alsace-Lorraine (which the French actually lost after the Franco-Prussian War).Quote:

I Guess I should point out if it weren't for the french we would be likely spelling color with a U and driving on the wrong side of the road...
But seriously, WTF would Ubisoft think the government would give a crap? Hell, our own government didn't give a shit when Daimler took over Chrysler. Globalization is the new Black.
Wow, thanks for clearing that up; first Rhineland, then Sudetenland, then Alsace-Lorraine, which was not won in the Franco-Prussian War. I suck at history :(Quote:
