Acquisitions which failed to complete[]

Acquirer Target Year Deal value (US$) Notes Reference
France Vivendi France Ubisoft 2016 6,400,000,000 In 2018, Vivendi agreed to stop pursuing its hostile takeover bid for Ubisoft and sell its shares to various investors, including Tencent. Vivendi had completely divested it's stake in Ubisoft by March 2019. [95][96][97]
United States Electronic Arts United States Take Two Interactive 2008 1,900,000,000 Although Take-Two were interested in merging with another company at the time, Strauss Zelnick and Take-Two's board of directors considered EA's cash offer inadequate. In September 2008, EA gave up on the acquisition and let the offer expire. [98][99][100]
United States Take Two Interactive United Kingdom Codemasters 2020 994,000,000 Take-Two offered to acquire Codemasters in November 2020 for approximately US$973 million and Codemasters subsequently accepted the deal. Following the acquisition, Codemasters would have operated within the 2K label under its existing leadership. However, in December 2020, Electronic Arts placed a rival offer of $1.2 billion, 14% higher than Take-Two's bid. Codemasters' board of directors agreed to the EA deal, following which Take-Two formally withdrew its offer in January 2021, ceding to EA's bid. EA fully acquired Codemasters on February 21, 2021. [101][102][103][104]
United States GT Interactive United States MicroProse 1997 250,000,000 Despite the merger agreement being signed and unanimously approved by both companies shareholders, the merger was called off two months after the deal was signed. The merger was reportedly called off due to "fundamental" disagreement over the handling of research and development costs. In the following years, MicroProse was acquired by Hasbro. [105][106][107][108]
Japan Square Enix Japan Tecmo 2008 200,000,000 Tecmo rejected Square Enix's buyout offer, opting instead for a merger of equals with Koei. [109][110]
United States Elevation Partners United Kingdom Eidos Interactive 2005 136,300,000 Elevation attempted to acquire Eidos in March 2005 as the newly formed firm's first acquisition, but were outbid by SCi, who ultimately acquired Eidos in May 2005. [111][112]
United States ZeniMax Media Canada Relic Entertainment 2013 26,300,000 At THQ's bankruptcy auction, ZeniMax bid $26.3 million for Relic Entertainment and the Company of Heroes IP, but were subsequently outbid by Sega by only $300K, with Sega ultimately acquiring Relic. [113] [114]
