Essential Query
And now the most important question...
...what does this mean for the Sierra licenses?

Re: Activision Blizzard
No change. We've already spoken to our contact with Vivendi. We continue on like have been.

Hopes for Blizzard
Good to know. I recall Blizzard having ads in the old InterAction Magazine - perhaps they'd actually be willing to do something with the properties at some point (or at least sell the rights to someone who will).

Re: Activision Blizzard
Well... one of the guys in charge of A-B is also the CEO of the Sierra brand, so maybe....
maybe pleading to A-B wouldn't be such a bad idea! Maybe using these channels may work...
We've got a number of old Sierra fans in Blizzard, and one or two from our community... so, who knows.

Re: Activision Blizzard
I don't think the move means much in so far as day-to-day operations are concerned. You might and probably will see lay-offs but thats about it. Mergers are a good way to knock out the competition. I suspect this is what happened here.

Re: Activision Blizzard
Nah, I don't think there will be lay-offs considering the long list of open job positions on Blizzard's site.
Re: Activision Blizzard
Blizzard is neither the target nor the acquiring entity. It is a sub of Vivendi. Vivendi effectively bought Activision and is in control. You should expect lay-offs on the Activision side, not on Vivendi's end. Albeit lay-offs in either end are likely, I would just expect the target to be trimmed a bit more than home base. I remember seeing the proposal some time ago and you could probably google it and check out the structure of the deal.Gronagor wrote:Nah, I don't think there will be lay-offs considering the long list of open job positions on Blizzard's site.
