Unity reportedly up for sale
Popular development platform linked with Google and others.
The owners of the popular game development platform Unity are courting acquisition partners, according to a report published on CNET this afternoon.
A presentation outlining the value of the business is rumoured to have been circulated to companies including Google, and insiders have claimed that detailed talks have been held with at least one potential buyer.
Unity's a popular choice for small development teams, offering a relatively easy way to develop cross-platform titles for PC and mobile devices.
The platform currently boasts more than three million registered users, representing nearly half of all developers. Most famously, Blizzard chose Unity to create its insanely popular card game Hearthstone for iPad and PC.
The owners of Unity have yet to comment on the rumour - we'll update this story as and when further details emerge.
