Well, Activision does own Blizzard now, and Blizzard makes good games that turn pretty big profits, and Skylanders is a pretty big money maker for Activision. But aside from CoD, Skylanders, and Blizzard I have to agree, Activision's IP portfolio is pretty poor. Guitar Hero used to be a success for them but they stupidly drove it into the ground by oversaturating the market with too many Guitar Hero games. They've got Raven Software who was a good developer once upon a time, but Activision is wasting them by using them to make CoD DLC, I wish they'd sell them to EA so Raven could make good Star Wars games again.

While Activision and Blizzard are part of the same company, neither Activision or Blizzard makes decisions on what the other does. They are treated as seperate entitities.

I never played Skylanders but its pretty well regarded. So I'll give them that.

Raven made some decent games, but they didn't make outstanding games. They don't just work on DLC by the way, they did multiplayer for CoD: Ghosts and CoD AW. So they play a pretty significant role right now.


The thing is Activision isn't on the stock market, it's Activision Blizzard that you buy shares for which does include both parts.
