Can you point the name of Activision in this cover? Did you also went to the future and saw that the 3 Starcraft games are mediocre? And that the 3 parts are actually going to cost full price? And did you read any recap of Blizzcon and watched the new mod tools for Blizzard games? And that Blizzard is going to help modders by making some mods payable, so the mod teams can make some profit out of them? And that those agreements you pointed are probably the same to the Steam ones or any other type of chat programs?(You are aware that they don't have a team working 24/7 to monitor your conversations.)
The only thing that you managed to link Activision greed to Blizzard was the raise of the ticket prizes, and paying for the stream.
You have to be COMPLETELY ignorant to think that Blizzard will be untouched by what Kotick wants out of the company. Open your eyes before you kill yourself when Starcraft II isn't that great.
Just wait and see... watch as Blizzard dissolves into what Activision wants them to be. Pump out game after game and charge you every step of the way!
I wont kill myself. But I'm also very well aware that Activision doesn't own Blizzard, and that Blizzard has it's own CEO. Morhaime is still in charge of Blizzard. And both Morhaime and Kotick answer to Vivendi who is the parent company of Blizzard and Activision.
ACTIVISION DID NOT AQUIRE BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT. They became partners once Vivendi merged with Activision.
Vivendi the people who owns Blizzard.
On the other hand IW is OWNED by Activision.
When the merge happened Vivendi got the majority of the stock hold, meaning they IN CHARGE. As Vivendi remains the majority, Blizzard owned by Vivendi kept being a seperate studio. Activision remains Activision with it's satelite studios.(Like IW WHICH IS OWNED BY ACTIVISION)
Here the key people of the company named Activision Blizzard, Inc:
Jean-Bernard Levy, Chairman
Robert Kotick, President and CEO of Activision
Michael Morhaime, President and CEO of Blizzard Entertainment
The name Activision Blizzard, Inc came up because they both are very well knowed betewen the video game media and plublic. More than the Vivendi. When the merge happened it was a no brainer to call that section of Vivendi Activision Blizzard, Inc.
Go to ANY site of Blizzard(WoW forums, Battlenet, Blizzstore.) you won't see the name of Activision. Why? Cause they a separate part of the company. One with it's own CEO and business schemes.
Get it?
Kotick and Morhaime are two different people. Activision and Blizzard are two different studios who belong to a bigger company. Each works independent of the other.
