This isn't exactly "off-topic", but I couldn't find an appropriate forum section for purely informational bits... ;)

The following is taken from a GameSpy newsletter... (For those who don't know, Vivendi Universal also owns Blizzard Entertainment -- makers of WarCraft, StarCraft, & Diablo)

Vivendi Universal Finished with Publishing? - Aramo
Vivendi Universal could be selling its publishing unit Vivendi Universal Publishing to reduce the company's 19 billion euros debt (of which game arm Vivendi Universal Games is a part) within a matter of days. According to a source close to the matter, "The candidates could submit their bids from Tuesday of this week. They have until October 21. But a decision could come in the next few days." We must stress that presently this report should be considered a rumor.
