Since Vivendi joined with Activision last year, much speculation has been growing about the company's plans. Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said Monday that the company is looking at selling off classic publishing label Sierra as well as its affiliated studios.
He said the firm will (realign staffing at Radical Entertainment and High Moon Studios) and is exploring (the possibility of divestiture) of Massive Entertainment and Swordfish Studios. He also said Sierra could be up for sale as well as Vivendi's mobile games operations.
Griffith said, "We are focused on improving efficiency across the combined organization and are concentrating on businesses where we have leadership positions that are aligned with Activision Publishing's long-term corporate objectives."
After thoroughly enjoying so many RPG and adventure games published by the company over the past 30 years, I really hope they find a good home.
