Rumor – Microsoft is Among Potential Activision Buyers
“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.

MPAAT0xic8ear I would like to see this happen, it can go 2 ways It will either destroy Call of duty forever or make it even better.
They don't develop the game, they only publish it. If MS bought Activision the only thing they would change is what platform(s) it is released on, what marketing it gets and what prices they set.
Not really they already do that with contracts.

Euphoric This could change the face of CoD, for better or for worse
Not really. IW and Treyarch make cod(and Sledgehammer games). Activision just published it. When and if microsoft buys activison, CoD will stay the same.
