Vivendi is the new Gameloft; what does that mean for Ubisoft?

In what is called a hostile takeover, Vivendi is taking this as a step into the path of taking over the French branch of Ubisoft. As the former owner of Activision-Blizzard, it sold its 85% stake in the company in 2013 for $8 billion.

But for employees who are loyal to the Guillemot brothers, who founded both Ubisoft and Gameloft, they might leave the new company.

Earlier this month, the French Conglomerate Vivendi bought out 61.7% of shares of Gameloft.
