Did Epic buy Ubisoft?

Did Epic Games acquire Ubisoft recently?
I was talking to the Epic Games customer support regarding an issue with Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, which I bought through the Epic Games store.

The customer support staff told me they couldn't help me with my issue as Epic Games only "recently acquired " Ubisoft and some specific in-game and/or account issues would be outside of their scope.

This might sound dumb and maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I couldn't find any other info about it online.
Seems like a pretty big deal i.e "big if true".

Pic of chat, omitted some personal info:

likely a miscommunication on the reps end, epic could afford ubisoft if they wanted, but epic historically haven't bought out many studios and ubisoft are not really in need to sell up

They probably mean that Epic only recently integrated with Ubisoft’s drm/online platform.

You're all probably right. (except for Bladexdsl and DKB, that's hardly constructive, mates.)
Just thought it was interesting and wanted to know if I missed anything.

Thanks for clarifying that.
