... that the largest video game studio in the world is headquartered in a former textile factory?

"Lorsque Christophe Derennes, aujourd’hui directeur général d’Ubisoft Montréal, s’est installé avec sa famille dans la métropole québécoise en 1997, il était loin de se douter que, 25 ans plus tard, le studio du quartier Mile-End deviendrait le plus important au monde, fort de ses 4000 personnes employées. [...] Ubisoft Montréal occupe les bureaux de l'édifice Peck depuis ses débuts dans le métropole québécoise."

Google-translated from French : "When Christophe Derennes, now general manager of Ubisoft Montreal, moved with his family to the Quebec metropolis in 1997, he was far from suspecting that, 25 years later, the studio in the Mile End district would become the largest in the world, with 4,000 employees. [...] Ubisoft Montreal has occupied the offices of the Peck Building since its beginnings in the Quebec metropolis."

Interesting: - Is this still true today? The source is from 2009, but the article doesn't mention this. Also, do all of the 1,900 employees work in the building?

QPQ: None required.

Overall: @WikiFouf: Nice work on the article. However, I had a concern about the hook. Epicgenius (talk) 14:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Epicgenius the source I included is not the 2009 NYT one, it's from 2022. As for where the employees work, good point, I'm pretty sure Ubisoft Montreal also owns some neighbouring smaller buildings. It could say "headquartered" instead of "housed" - WikiFouf (talk) 15:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Or "mainly housed" - WikiFouf (talk) 15:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
  - @WikiFouf, yeah, "headquartered" sounds good if you want to make that change. I was looking at the wrong source; my bad. Once you propose a revised hook, I can formally review it. Epicgenius (talk) 15:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
    - @Epicgenius Perf! Noob question, sorry, can I just edit the hook on the DYK page or do I have to resubmit another one? - WikiFouf (talk) 15:53, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
      - @WikiFouf, editing the hook here is fine. You don't need to create another nomination/hook. Epicgenius (talk) 16:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
        @Epicgenius done thanks! @Epicgenius WikiFouf (talk) 17:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
        Looks good to me. (Also, @WikiFouf, I noticed you linked to my talk page. I do not get pings from these; I only receive notifications if you link my user page. This is just a heads-up in case you didn't know.) Epicgenius (talk) 20:31, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
