He stressed that no impact has been felt at the level of Ubisoft groups. “During this period, people have not travelled a lot, have not made investment, have not consumed a lot. Instead of all this, they have stayed at home and played video games. We expect the local video game market to keep growing next year, “ Delen emphasized.
