Vevendi, the majority stakeholder of Activision Blizzard, has began “testing the appetite of possible bidders.” Vivendi has a 60 percent stake in the biggest video game publisher, Activision Blizzard. Interestingly, Microsoft’s name has come up in the list of potential new suitors“Although a formal process has not started, bankers close to Vivendi are sounding out cash-rich trade players, including China’s Tencent and U.S. duo Time Warner and Microsoft, as well as private-equity heavyweights KKR, Providence and Blackstone,” Reuters‘ sources claim.The French conglomerate’s stake in Activision has an estimated price of 10 billion dollars.

Who didn't see this coming? I mean Microsoft has been stuffing money in Activision's pockets for a few years now.

I hope that Blizzard's games won't be rushed more than they already are.

Lol the other way around. There's lots of people (well, mostly 12 year olds) who wouldn't pay for Live if cod didn't exist.

Well it seems to me that Microsoft has been giving Activision a reach-around since they have been releasing content on the Xbox earlier and I think they were the first to do it.

Now this is a surprise giving that Activision pretty much owns the market. They must know that their cash cow is about to tumble.
