Activision and Vivendi (Blizzard's Parent Company) Merge

Put your pinky to your mouth and say it with me. "Eighteen billion dollars!"

Not sure that WoW fanatics have anything to worry about here (despite Vivendi being Blizzard's parent company)... It's not the same as when EA bought Mythic and ruined DAOC. After all, it's a merger, not a buyout. And second of all, it's not like Activision has quite the reputation for ruining games and churning out the same game over and over again that EA does.
