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.

-Perfect- I wish microsoft would buy them, Maybe they would start to make good call of dutys again.
Activision does to make call of duty they just are the publishers for call of duty games along with other games


Yes this is true but, they still have a major influence over whether a game can be released or not so if it's not up to their standards it won't be released.
