Any thoughts on this huge merger:
Quote:
The companies behind Call of Duty and World of Warcraft are merging in a deal which could shake up the global video games industry.

Activision and Blizzard have said they will form "the world's most profitable games business" in a deal worth $18.8bn (£9.15bn).

All videogames will be made by EA or this new frankenmonster.

Of course, square enix is not as deadly as I thought it would end up.

I don't get what y'all are saying.

....But Activision Blizzard already announced a 10th Tony Hawk game, Call of Duty 5 and Guitar Hero IV. Obviously the big cash cows.
