L\u2019entreprise fran\u00e7aise<\/strong> (the French company) Ubisoft<\/em> is celebrating its 30 year anniversary! L\u2019entreprise<\/strong> is one of the biggest video game publishers in the world, but l’histoire<\/strong> (the story, the history) of la grande entreprise<\/strong> begins in the French countryside.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft is l’entreprise<\/strong> behind some of the most well known jeux vid\u00e9o<\/strong><\/a> (video games) ever made. It’s hard to have not come across Ubisoft at least a few times if you have ever played les jeux vid\u00e9o<\/strong>. Even outside of les fans des jeux vid\u00e9o<\/strong> (video game fans) names like Rayman<\/em> and Aassassin’s Creed<\/em> are well known!<\/p>\n

Comme Ubisoft f\u00eate ses trente ans<\/strong> (Seeing how Ubisoft is celebrating its thirty year anniversary) there\u2019s no better time to learn a bit about l\u2019entreprise<\/strong> behind some of the most popular jeux vid\u00e9o<\/strong> <\/a>on the market.<\/p>\n

L\u2019entreprise<\/strong> was created by cinq fr\u00e8res<\/strong> (five brothers) in the countryside of la Bretagne<\/strong> (Brittany), in Northwest France. Les fr\u00e8res<\/strong> came from a family that traditionally focused on agriculture and was far removed from anything high tech like les jeux vid\u00e9o<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cependant<\/strong> (however), In 1986 les fr\u00e8res<\/strong> formed Ubisoft, looking to take advantage of le nouveau march\u00e9 des jeux<\/strong> (the new games’ market). Although the company is now massive with offices \u00e0 travers le monde<\/strong> (all over the world), le si\u00e8ge social<\/strong> (the headquarters) is still \u00e0 Rennes<\/strong> en Bretagne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Les Bretons<\/strong> (Bretons, people from Brittany) are proud of their origins and culture, leading some people to think le nom de l’entreprise<\/strong> (the name of the company) is tied to the region. On dit<\/strong> (it’s said) that the Ubi<\/em> in Ubisoft is actually un acronyme<\/strong> for an independence movement:<\/p>\n

Union des Bretons Ind\u00e9pendants<\/strong>
\nUnion of Independent Bretons<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Les fr\u00e8res<\/strong> have denied any such claim, stating that le nom<\/strong> was simply chosen because “\u00e7a sonnait bien<\/strong> (it sounded good)”, clarifying that Ubisoft<\/em> is a combination of the words ubiquit\u00e9<\/strong> <\/em>(ubiquity) and software <\/em>the English word for logiciel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Next time you play Far Cry<\/em>, Just Dance<\/em>, Prince of Persia<\/em>, or n’importe quel jeu vid\u00e9o d\u2019Ubisoft<\/strong>, don\u2019t forget to say joyeux anniversaire<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
