Think I originally said You-Bee-Eye soft. Do we know the origin of the name, whether it means anything in French?

Blood Money changed my life (or at least, how I pronounced its publisher's name). Sigh-Gnow-Sis sounds more awesomely foreboding in that intro anyway.

So that's you-bih-quuh-tuhss (I think - it's one of those words I'm never sure exactly how to say), so you-bih-soft?

That's at least how I would pronounce it.

When you Google it (https://www.google.com/search?q=ubisoft+pronunciation) it even offers a British and an American pronounciation
