Activison & Blizzard merger, whatcha think?

[Ripper]

I'm old enough to remeber Pitfall and the other games Activision came out with in the 80's. Haven't been keeping up with what they've done lately. What do you think? 17 billion dollar merger, good grief.

I don't think either company really 'needed' the merger. I think (or at least would assume) that they are looking in the future as to what resources from both companies can be combined to take on the ever growing giants in the industry.

I personally hope that whatever they choose to produce in the future it is refreshing and shows that the industry needs to move away from cookie cutter RTS/MMO/FPS/RPG games.

I'm pretty neutral at this point. It doesn't have any effect on me nor do I see it in the future. As long as the newly formed company produces quality products there is no qualm here.
