Oh wow, I had no idea Vivendi owned them.

So what, Activision is now technically indie?

Edit: Oh right derp, they don't make anything themselves.

No, it's just a publisher that's not owned by an entertainment megacorp anymore

How can a publisher be indie?

I wonder if they'll be picked up by another of the megacorps? Probably Disney.

Oh wait apparently they've been taken on by Tencent, the guys funding Riot Games.
