It's official: Activision Blizzard now in business

[Grim]

Activision's PR dudes have repeatedly stated that they won't be meddling with how Blizzard currently runs their games.

What a great decision. It takes years of really good work to get to where Blizzard currently is reputation-wise, and only one small fuck-up by any outsider trying to snag some level of control in the creative or production process to ruin all that.

Activision has its own massively successful titles to worry about, so keeping their heads on straight while combining financial muscle and market reach should really be good for business.
