Unity in talks to sell - Report

Blizzard created Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, which has become one of its most popular titles. That success is due to how easy it is to use on both PCs and tablets, a big accomplishment for Blizzard since Hearthstone was its first-ever game for mobile devices. Much of the credit goes to Unity's tools, which make it easier to create games that work across devices, said Jason Chayes, who headed up production for Hearthstone.

It will probably get bought by either Google, Amazon, or Microsoft. I'm thinking mostly Microsoft because of their strong push towards mobile.

Given Microsofts Unity partnership, I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet. Also considering Satya is comitted to pushing Windows Phone and Surface, and having a strong games engine like Unity for it would make game development for Windows mobile more friendly.

Microsoft does have a deep pocket with their offshores cash. Mojang acquisition only put a small dent in it.

Lets just hope its not Google.

Its impossible to say because they are a private company so we don't get to see their financials but the article mentions a possible asking price of $2 billion.

so MS is going to own unity too? I know this isn't confirmed but it certainly is my guess. Could actually be good for unity. Its a spectacular engine and visual studios is a great developing environment. They could grow from each other

I hope its after they release Unity 5.

The more I see Microsoft buying things-or may be buying things, like this, the more I am sure they are preparing to evolve past a console xbox and make it into a platform ala steam. I think they are seriously preparing for an evolution.
