I wonder if they'll buy Blizzard North back, now known as Flagship Studios. They made Diablo II, they could make Diablo III!!!! =O
They made Hellgate: London, which I heard was pretty good.

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

Well shitty. No more kick ass Blizzard games.

RIP Blizzard.
I don't think a merged, most profitable publisher will make games. Blizzard Entertainment is still developing it, just sharing the profit with Activision as it rises sky high even higher.

Ah activision... old memories...
Looking at activision's recent game list, I don't see blizzard fitting in with cartoon/movie games and guitar hero/dancing with the stars.
I'd assume blizzard gets more freedom in the deal.

Blizzard gets the better deal essentially, and both companies retain their essential stock, but 45% of Activision and 25% of Blizzard is getting combined. Not only that, the parent companies and branches of Blizzard are also in this deal, but since Blizzard is more popular than Vivendi games, they decided to make it Activision Blizzard - from my perspective of course.

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.

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
