Activision Looking to Sell Sierra

Jul 28, 2008 at 7:43 PM - Gary McLean - 3 Comments

Sierra's a shadow of their former selves, but Activision might be trying to sell the long-time publisher anyways:

 

Activision says it may sell off some of its Vivendi studios in an attempt to “better align” the company’s development operations.

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.
