''Vivendi Games'' (formerly Universal Interactive, then Vivendi Universal Interactive and later Vivendi Universal Games) was a video game publishing company. Founded as a publishing subsidiary of CUC International, it was sold to French marketing company Havas in 1998, which in turn was bought by Creator/{{Vivendi}} the same year. It was named after Vivendi's former name from 2000 to 2006, following its acquisition of Seagram, the parent company of Hollywood conglomerate [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Studios]], in 2000. However, Vivendi Universal sold most of its Universal assets in 2004 to General Electric (owners of Creator/{{NBC}}) and formed Creator/NBCUniversal in the process. Later during 2006, the company dropped the "Universal" part from its name afterwards, although it remained the majority stakeholder of Creator/UniversalMusicGroup, which split off from the film studio (until 2021, when it was spun-off as a separate public company).
