Ubisoft is no stranger to takeover whispers. In 2004, Electronic Arts made a run at the video game publisher, but was ultimately rebuffed. In 2015, Vivendi made an even more serious attempt that took years to defuse. Now Ubisoft is the subject of speculation once again—only this time, the deal could actually happen.
