Talk:Don't Nod

Shareholders and financials
With Dontnod entering public trading, I found a very interesting information on here. Scrolling down to "Shareholders" section, it can be seen as PhD Kostadin Yanev owns 58.5% of Dontnod. Should it be reported in infobox ("Owner" parameter)? Then for proof, I tried to match infobox CD Projekt data with the site (here), and numbers match. Unfortunately "Financials" record card is not available for Dontnod (due to their short presence in the public trading, I suppose), but it will be probably available in the future. Should we use?

Re: Founding date, again
The company's "studio" page on their website, which we still cite, continues to say that Dontnod was founded on 1 May 2008, even after the website was revamped. The date we currently have (28 June) is based on a Tweet made by the company. The company incorporated on 2 June. Which date should we use? Lordtobi ( &#9993; ) 08:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I think we should go with the website, it says directly it was founded on 1 May 2008. It's not our fault they make it so damn confusing. Cognissonance (talk) 19:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

DONTNOD Eleven
"Reverted good faith edits by IgelRM: Apart from this introducing unsourced information, do we really need to mention BSP? The project has nothing to do with this Dontnod and Dontnod Eleven assuming the name is the only crossover between them" (continuing from Talk:Dontnod Eleven‎)

I don't think "also run by Guilbert" is fitting, I can only find that he was the President. I don't think "independent entity" is fully accurate because of the apparent share acquisition. I think it is relevant enough to mention BSP as it appears some development team responsibilities were shared. What part was unsourced?

 * The MCV source we use actually says it all:
 * President is, indeed, a leadership role, although MobyGames is not reliable. The independence part was also true for the time being. The document du base would suggest that they acquired the studio in March 2018 a/k/a 2 years later. The annual release says that it was integrated on July 1, 2018. Would be cool if we had a secondary source for this. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 17:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Ok, I missed that (maybe that quote can be added to the reference). So can we change it to "in which Guilbert held a management role"? I didn't consider the time span, but they already used the DONTNOD name in 2016. Since it appears the "independent" part is outdated, I think we should reword that part even without a secondary source. Also I still would like to mention BSP as the name sharing should give it relevance and the reason above. Btw thanks for thoroughly reading the linked sources. IgelRM (talk) 20:22, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Found a suitable source in Jeuxvideo.com (in French), which disects their financial statements and note that Dontnod Entertainment had been absorbed. I included a sentence on this in the article. Regards, IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 20:03, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
