Looking at the game list both company seems to complete each other very well. Blizz is very RTS-MMO-PCRPG oriented, while Activision is more action-console+FPS. And from what I can see, Activision has a strong background in console gaming which could be put to good use to bring back old franchises from Blizz, such as Blackthorne, Rock&Roll Racing and Lost Vikings. :D Impressive indeed ..

They have said many times already in all these reports, that nothing changes in regards to Blizzard gaming development.

Maybe you’re not into games then. It’s a very well known company imo." Yes, really... I keep track of new games here in the Phils but I haven't heard of Activision. The popular games here are all from Blizzard, Sierra, Nintendo, Sega and that company that made C&C. Maybe they haven't penetrated much in SE Asia. Anyway, if this helps them improve their development of Starcraft II, then so be it. I don't mind, as long as Starcraft will continue to prevail. En Taro Adun!!! Quoting rikas:
