VentureBeat said:

Unity Technologies, the makers of prolific video-game-development engines and tools, is exploring options for its future. One of those options is the possible sale of the company. The asking price is apparently very high  weve heard over $1 billion to as high as $2 billion.



Were not able to confirm what the exact price would be  or if Unity will be sold at all. But more than one source has provided this information to GamesBeat, including one who would have knowledge about the state of the ownership status.



This has all come up recently because of an interesting turn of events, which werent prompted by the companys own desire to sell. Rather, one of Unitys bigger shareholders has explored the idea of selling his shares, and that prompted the evaluation of the companys future.



Unity, which is based in San Francisco, has declined to comment so far.
