Activision Blizzard: It's Official


Quote:
As promised during the second week of June, Activision held a shareholder's meeting to vote on the proposed merger with Vivendi Games. And as expected, investors in the Santa Monica-based publisher approved by an overwhelming majority the $18.9 billion deal that first surfaced in December. In a statement, Activision noted that "all of the proposals required to effect the transaction received more than 92 percent of the shares voted."

Following the terms of the deal, Vivendi Games--the interactive games division of France-based media conglomerate Vivendi SA and parent company of Blizzard Entertainment and Sierra Entertainment--will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision. As previously noted, the merger is expected to wrap on or about July 9, at which point the company will be rebranded Activision Blizzard.

This could be good or bad, but I'm hoping the union of these two companies will result in some awesome games.

this is what the world is coming to lol! Walmart, Kwik Trip, Activision Blizzard, Newegg, and stuff like that. Those who are going into game design and programming (like me)...this is where these companies are wanting to burst in power with the production of games in larger teams and sub companies.
