Ok tin foil hat time:

Did they have an life insurance plan against them that could go to Ubisoft or were they in the way of a deal that meant China got more of Ubisoft IPs?

It's a very real thing and standard policy to have at the corporate level.

Key Person Life Insurance -- Key person insurance is a life insurance policy that a business takes out on its most valuable employee or employees.

Good to know I'm not the only one who immediately went to "why was this assassination carried out?"

I'm placing my bet now.

This was an assassination.

He knew too much.

There was an air show in town I bet they tried to do some trick and the plane came apart.

Who was incentivizing the DEI push.

He may have let slip that he was going to talk.

That said, this is just speculation on my part. Apparently he hasn't been directly involved with Ubisoft in a long time.

Considering the timing, it’s obviously suspicious.

Maybe he was going to depose his brother. Maybe he was standing in the way of another company buying more of them out or vice versa. Maybe a disgruntled major shareholder. Seeing as Reuters is reporting it, I’d lean more towards a shareholder that was burnt or someone that wants to buy them out. A lot of things can go wrong with an airplane with access and very little effort.

No way that's an accident.

To be fair, that might just be a result of Diversity Inclusion and Equity

Maybe not but he definitely had a lot of influence in the company.

This has to be a CCP plot to gain full control over Ubisoft.

Zut alors!

Perhaps there was a gremlin interacting with the controls?

Kenichi Shinoda sends his regards.
