RHEC Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Potential buyers for Vivendi’s 60 percent share of Activision Blizzard include Microsoft, Time Warner and Tencent, news source Reuters has reported. Media corporation Vivendi has apparently started “testing the appetite” of potential buyers for part or all of its 60 percent share of Activision Blizzard.The sale process has not yet officially begun, but bankers close to Vivendi are said to be sounding out cash buyers including the likes of Chinese company Tencent as well as Time Warner and Microsoft.“It’s nothing official yet, but they’ve asked a bank to go and talk to possible buyers for Activision,” said a source close to the Vivendi board.A sale by Vivendi could supposedly help raise up to $10 billion to shore up its share price. Reuters reported that both Microsoft and Time Warner declined to comment on a possible buy-out.This would be BS if Microsoft does this, this would ruin gaming imo.

Carter Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Can't hate on them for being interested. It just sucks that Microsoft (or anyone for that matter) could monopolize popular gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some will remain neutral like myself. They purchased something fair and square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Sony buying EA. You know how messed up it would be for Microsoft if Sony decided to buy EA and make all of their games Playstation exclusives?
