Cool Activision merges with Vivendi Games for $18 billion

Activision + Vivendi Games = Activision Blizzard

according to this article from IGN, they r now the world's largest online n console game publisher!

IGN: Activision + Vivendi Games = Activision Blizzard

Activision Blizzard interview

IGN: Activision Blizzard Interview

make sure to read the interview too!!!

if u mods want to move this to general gaming or something, then i wouldnt really mind, it's just that more ppl come to off topic then general gaming or PC gaming.

what do u guys think?

More decent games should come out now

But if Activision and UBISOFT joined up that would be amazing!

I think they should Go for Game Life now.. Like Call of duty 4 Took some tech forums members under 7 hours to complete.. I Dont know why they widen the lifespan of Co-op / Singleplayer... But i suppose not to much as Gamers might get Bored of that particular game

atomic tofu is on a distinguished road

Default Re: Activision merges with Vivendi Games for $18 billion

ubisoft kinda sucks, good games but horrible customer service, IMO
is Activ+Bliz the biggest now?

Just seems hard to see anyone bigger than the bloated EA and it's myriad X titles and endless sequels.

Gota be, Call of Duty alone is a HUGE HUGE game. And now its got World of Warcraft with a user base pushing the 10 or 11 million mark, its gona have a lot more money to put into its games.
