yeah vivendi is not blizzard ! publisher owned or not blizzard is gonna keep its name i mean they have some sort of brand recognition thing going right ?! /EDIT it actually says that on the blizzard faq that got linked higher up
Dunno what to think about it. If some key Blizzard devs pulled in shit loads of money with the deal then i would assume they gonna bail asap and Blizzard is in danger of exploding ala OSI and Bullfrog. If its just corporate thing and they dont start plastering Blizzard logos allover their range then i guess nothing big…
Activision and Blizzard are doing some sort of weird merger to create Activision Blizzard, leaving Vivendi with a 52% controlling stock. Thoughts? World of Guitarcraft anyone? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7123582.stm http://www.activisionblizzard.com/pressReleases/pr120207.php
[ QUOTE ] I'm just hoping some of that hot sexy blizzard art style is used in games like tony hawk or other titles now. That'd be awesome. Need more hot, sexy, stylish WOW stuff. NWWWWEEEDD ET [/ QUOTE ] Blizzard has been owned by Vivendi/Sierra for years now and they haven't worked with the other VU games developers, so…
[ QUOTE ] hey the only positive comments in here are from people affiliated with activision [/ QUOTE ] The folks at Blizzards are too busy counting their money to give a damn.
Sounds interesting. Somehow I doubt Blizzard's work will be messed with, they don't need any help when it comes to make triple A titles that sell insane numbers.
Anyone got a link to this ATVI being #1 publisher? I remember reading it, but can't remember where. Anyway, those who're hoping Blizzard makes shit games now need not worry for 2 reasons. 1.) Activision doesn't really make shit. And 2.) Vivendo owns 52% of the "Activision Blizzard", so Vivendi would be making the majority…
I work for Activision and it's awesome. Look at the quality titles put out by activision owned studios. It would be silly to think that Activision is going to jump in and start screwing up what Blizzard does. They know what they're doing, and obviously good things can come from this. Blizzard obviously don't need something…
