Chatting to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joystiq.com\/2011\/01\/12\/patrice-desilets-bringing-key-members-of-ubisoft-to-thq-montre\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joystiq<\/a>, THQ&#8217;s Danny Bilson has revealed that the publisher has hired a further three ex-Ubisoft employees, at the request of D&eacute;silets.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently D&eacute;silets told Patrice that he &#8220;needs these three guys&#8221; and the head honcho was happy to oblige. Patrice would not reveal the names of the three new employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We put all of them on retention and got them started on their non-competes [non-compete agreement]. I kind of know what their roles are, but they were the most important people to Patrice. All three of them are Ubi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>D&eacute;silets will be heading up THQ&#8217;s new Montreal studio from May 28th onwards. He is currently waiting out a non-compete clause which prevents him from working for other publishers for a set period of time after leaving Ubisoft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/10457-THQ-nabs-three-more-top-Ubisoft-employees\" target=\"_self\" title=\"More Ubisoft employees join THQ\"><strong>More Ubisoft employees join THQ<\/strong><\/a> &lt;&lt; Comments and views.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original Assassin&#039;s Creed mastermind brings three Ubisoft buddies over to THQ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9369\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
