Blizzard and Activision Announce $18.8bn Merger

Holy fuck guys, this is in the News and Events forum! Keep your spam out of here.

So we might end up with an FPS starcraft and first-person Diablo @_@?

So why do I get my post removed and slaynish doesnt? Thats just racism.

Vivendi is an oddly particular company, I'd say it's safe to assume that some sort of new gaming will come from this, they probably bought stock in them to get some new employees..

Here's a weird-though, Starcraft 2 on Steam? I mean they're all through Vivendi, and I would assume that they could implement a new system and totally get rid of Battle.net, or maybe just incorporate that into it.. the possibilities are Endless....

Maybe a WW2 game where you shoot zerg and horde?

I'd be down with that.

What's odd. Now, I was on steam yesterday and bought CS (source) Finally, and seen a SHIT LOAD of games on there, because now that Activision and Bilzzard we're partners, and Steam is thrown into the mix, it's just one huge gaming monopoly.

I would imagine them using the steam platform for future games such as SC2 possibly, maybe integrate Battle.net into this somehow?...

Maybe a WW2 game where you shoot zerg and horde?

LMAO. falaffal
