Slashdot.org
Blizzard and Activision are merging, and CEO of Activision will be the new CEO of Blizzard. I hope this doesn't have any negative affects on SC2.

Cool, maybe they will make more games now. Maybe if WoW has sex with Call of Duty we will get a cool game.

Well I guess this can't be that bad. I mean could the 2 teams work together to make a 1st person starcraft shooter? :-_-:

All though why didn't blizzard merge with Nintendo. Super Zergling Brothers anyone?

None.

If the Activision CEO is smart he'll just let the Blizzard peoples do their thing and stick to the massive amounts of mediocre games they're good at.
Either way, we'll still have to see the much less awesome Activision logo much more often from now on.

You will not notice anything different. Both companies will keep their specific brands.

Besides that, did I see something about blizzard stock? :omfg:

Great way to make the company prosper even further. Just like how Exxon and Mobil joined and is now one of the biggest companies and is currently the biggest oil company. Many companies are now doing this like the most recent one, AT&T and Cingular. Activision Blizzard might just be a new major company.

It's not exactly a new trend.

Echo Post #14

I never said it was. The most common thing is a major company takes over minor companies, but this is two successful companies merging.

OMG... Blizzard just threw there name away... I am beginning to have like 0 interest in them now...

Echo Post #18

They didn't throw their names away. It is still Blizzard Entertainment. The only thing that is different is the stock company in which people identify and buy stocks from. They haven't even changed or fused anything together an are still working on seperate things. In the Questions and Answers, it shows that there will be no noticeable changes at all and no one will even get fired/ exchange/ etc.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

NudeRaider -- Symmetry

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous

yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
