Merger? Acquisition? Or Something Altogether Different?
December 5th, 2007
Since I pay a lot of attention to the game industry, and less time paying attention to lots of other things, I’ve been impressed by the amount of coverage the recent acquisition/merger of Blizzard (who was owned by Vivendi/Universal) and Activision. For the most part gamers (and those that study games and gamers) remain pretty unaware of this sort of thing.
But just using the number of news and blog posts related to this event as a kind of metric, this event has really caught the eye of gamers and game developers alike. I believe Darius Kazemi’s post sums up what most game developers are thinking about the event.
Holy crap.
