What could Blizzard possibly have to gain from Activision?

They don't make the same kind of games - don't make games the same way - 
don't make games for the same platforms.  WTF?

I challenge someone to a dual in Warcraft Hero when it comes out.

This is not Blizz + Activision but Vivendi (who owns blizz) +
Activision + Using blizz name for the good PR.

Which is sort of shooting themselves in the foot if you ask me, but
hey, I'm not a marketing guru.


Also, you people suck for not liking SC :/

Vivendi probably wants the merger because the activision unit has a far 
better distribution chain in place.
