Microsoft is reportedly engaged in talks regarding the potential acquisition of social game developer CrowdStar.
Bloomberg sources indicate that the platform holder is keen to purchase the studio, the fourth-largest developer of applications for Facebook with more than 50.8 million monthly active users, but say a decision on any sale may be weeks away.
It’s also possible that CrowdStar - which may be valued at $200 million - could remain independent, instead opting to seek investment from a private equity firm.
