I just heard Vivendi and Activision are merging to become "Activision Blizzard". I don't think this will affect TSL in any way, but I wanted to ask anyway :)

Also, any other thoughts? Does this mean 50 Cent Bulletproof 2 will have Blizzard's prestigious name on it? o.O
Activision and Vivendi merging... sounds bad.
I didn't realize Blizzard was part of Vivendi...
In any case, I really hope this won't have any ill effects. :-\

Good lord! :o That's....insane!
That is quite nutty...but couldn't you post it as a link next time rather than a giant post?
Calling all moderators, looks like we got the same thread in two sections of the forum....
Anyway, I don't see this affecting TSL.
Well it seems Sierra, Sierra Online, Vivendi Mobile and all of Activisions business will be swept under one division called Activision Publishing, while Blizzard will become a separate, more independant division of Activision Blizzard. It may be that Sierra will be digested into this brand, as I've read that Activision Publishing has always been a monolithic brand name
EDIT: I've read their PDF operation plan extending so far to '09. Sierra is staying, and they intend to green light a lot of products for Sierra in order to improve Sierra's operating income, which apparently for 07 was " -159m" and will seek to create sequels for Sierra's games and will create ''world wide appeal''. Meanwhile, Activision and Blizzard will continue with tried and true formulas.
*feels like someone just pushed the Firefly button* XD I'm probably just reading into it too much... I'd personally love to see the King's Quest/Torin's Passage series move forward as originally intended (Torin's Passage being released on the years between KQ games)... but I have this sad apprehension that that's not the kind of things they are green-lighting :(
I'd REALLY hope for that kind of thing too, Delling, but somehow I doubt it :(
Probably 50 Cent Bulletproof sequels...
this doesn't affect TSL. only Activision and Blizzard are merging, not Activision and vivendi, even though Blizzard is owned by Vivendi. the new company is called *gasp* Activision Blizzard (or ActiBlizz for short)
ActiBlizz... that sounds WICKED! :P
Sounds like a new drink at 7-11 :suffer:
