They were part of Vivendi Universal and got transferred over to Activision, they didn't sell themselves. What I'm trying to say is that even if Vivendi or now Activision try to meddle in their development they don't really have to put up with it. I was also under the impression that Blizzard Activision put Blizzard in a freer position than the one they were in while under Vivendi. Anyone out there would pay out the nose to have those developers work for them. It's the same for Valve.
