Rumors about a MS/Blizzard buyout surface again

**carlbme** · 01-09-2003

Here is a little bit from the story.

Vivendi hasn't stopped trying to sell its video game parts after all. The struggling company is looking to sell its biggest moneymakers - Blizzard and Sierra.

Seems that Vivendi is trying to sell everything in one lump some this time.

$15 BILLION DOLLARS

THATs TOO MUCH MONEY, IT WOULD'T BE PROFITABLE FOR Microsoft

Microsoft would take over Korea if they bought out Blizzard.

It would take decades to make up $15 billion dollars back from Xbox! but if Xbox go in first place maybe even sooner!

Ms should definitely not pass this one up....Blizzard and Sierra have made some extremely good games in the past(if you don't know what they are, you are ignorant, or don't play video games much

) I think that the Xbox would benefit immensely from the addition of veterans like these guys to its house.

If Sony gets their hands on Blizzard, they will become more of a power-house than they already are. I believe that Sony has a better chance of buying them because, if you can recall, Diablo was placed on the PSX. Sony has gotten Blizzard sales, but then again, StarCraft Ghost is coming out on all consoles, so who knows. Rare pulled a stunt like that. First they helped out Nintendo, then BAM! M$ made them pull a 360.
