    This would collapse the company instantly. They need to make sure a good followup is available. Because most are not and are even worse, either through greed or incompetence. And yes, it could be way worse than current leaders. Because if it was that easy to just fire them and replace them randomly with anyone and hope it does better, I am sure every company did that.

      You must be new to capitalism.

      CEOs are extremely replacable. The one thing that differentiates a good CEO from a bad one is how much they STFU and let the actual workers do their job instead of shoving directives down everyones’ throat every time a shiny new waste of an ‘investment’ catches their eye like AI.

        Not all CEOs are equally good or bad. Some help the company to be better, others are better at ruining it. Replaceable does not mean that ANYONE can do the job. You completely ignored my point.

          So you’re saying Ubisoft execs aren’t inept morons seeking the latest money-grubbing trends?

          I hate to break it to you, but yes: Anyone can replace that kind of executive.

          Could a random Joe replace the “executive” in a five man team? Probably not. Though any other scenario, it becomes more and more plausible. The bigger a company gets, the less competent the suits are. It’s basically a law of capitalism these days.

            I don’t think they’re talking about Ubi specifically. I agree that CEOs are “easily” replaceable but I also agree that some people would do a better job than others

              That’s true of any position ever. Just because some would be great doesn’t mean the entire group cannot be far below average.
