On that note, why is Blizzard even hanging with Activision? I'm sure they have more than enough capital to buy themselves out.. or do I not know what I'm talking about? |
You don't know what you are talking about.
Blizzard is owned by Activision-Blizzard. Activision-Blizzard is a holding company that owns both Activision and Blizzard. Any capital Blizzard has is Activision-Blizzards capital. The only way Blizzard would split from Activision is if Activision-Blizzard agrees to sell Blizzard to another company. Of course it doesn't have to be a company like EA. A capital investment company could come in and buy Blizzard and it would just be Blizzard. Or I guess they could sell Activision to another company just as easily. But either way it's very unlikely to ever happen and def wont happen in the near future.
What I don't get though is why the hostility towards it's association with Activision? I mean Blizzard was owned by another shitty video game publisher before it was associated with Acivision. It's not like it was it's own company and then got bought out by Activision. And it's not like it's management changed when it became part of Activision-Blizzard. It's in the same exact boat as it has been when you liked them.
