Activision and Blizzard merge


Activision Blizzard to be gamings largest development house.



So in case you guys haven’t heard Activision who has brought us such amazing games like Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, and of course Call of Duty, Blizzard whose name to fame is of course the ever popular World of Warcraft, and Vivendi who brings out the family friendly games such Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, have decided to merge business now aside from making this an $18.6 billion dollar company, they will now also be the largest video game only company to exist. The new company name will be Activision Blizzard and Vivendi will then have a 52% stock share in the company.

Considering the list of games that these companies have produced, you can guarantee that over the next year this company will be a true force to be reckoned with. Will this be the final deal for the new founded gaming giant? Or will they be like a growing shark eating up any little fish that makes a name for itself? Only time will tell, but until then one thing remains true, we can expect big things from the new multi-billion dollar company in the near future.

For more on the logistics of the company and their merger head on over to activation’s site by clicking here.

Thanks man, I am thinking that at this point if they get much bigger Mr. Bill Gates himself is going to have to go pay them a visit. Can't wait to see what comes from them though.....possibly a World of Warcraft with Rock Contest quests? hmm......what a terrible idea.
