News of this started to surface over the weekend. It seems Vivendi Interactive and Activision has sealed a deal which will make them a huge contender in the video game market. The deal will now have the two campanies using the name Activision Blizzard. While merges are nothing new this one came completely as a surprise and there was no word or clue of it before the weekend news hit. One thing that is the most interesting is Vivendi will have 52 percent of the shares. The merger of the two independent publishers will certainly help Vivendi but how will this help Activision who already have a great name and a growing franchise list? We have seen stranger things happen but I am sure there will be more news to follow on this newly formed merger.
