For the last few years, gaming giant Ubisoft has been trying to fend off a hostile takeover by Vivendi, the media company once owned Activision-blizzard, before it managed to buy itself back. For years, the media company has been gobbling up Ubisoft stocks where it could, eventually becoming a major stockholder with an eye towards Ubisoft’s board.
