If history has taught me anything from actually reading stuff instead of skimming headlines, it probably isn't true.   Furthermore this isn't bad news at all, it's just a story about Ubisoft shopping dead IPs out to other companies.  The only 'bad news' is a random investor reaction being sensationalized in order to get the Ubi hate dollar. Stories like this sucker people in easily when they don't actually look into things (which is most of the time).
