    I'm not sure I get this. Vivendi gave Irrational Games the right to self-publish the Freedom Force sequel? Huh? Does Vivendi own the rights to the sequel, or are they giving Irrational Games access to Vivendi's distribution chain?

      In a way, it's not different than Valve and Blizzard, which both make and finance their games themselves, they just let Vivendi do the distribution and marketing.
