    "The multinational media company Vivendi has acquired minority stakes in both Ubisoft and Gameloft, representing 6.6 per cent and 6.2 per cent of their respective stock.

    The price of the investments was €140.3 million for Ubisoft and €5.24 million for Gameloft, a vast difference given the proportional similarity of the stock.

    Vivendi has long been associated with the industry, operating the Vivendi Games publishing unit until 2008. That ended when it merged with Activision, forming Activision Blizzard, and its direct involvement with games publishing culminated when Activision CEO Bobby Kotick led an $8 billion buyout in 2013."

      Editing … Yves is pissed that Vivendi is creeping up on his turf. "We're going to fight to preserve our independence. We should not let this situation - nor any future actions by Vivendi or others - distract us from our goals. Our best defence is to stay focused on what we have always done best - deliver the most original and memorable gaming experiences." - Yves Guillemot, CEO and co-founder of Ubisoft
