So correct me if I am wrong, but Activision buys Vivendi Games (Blizzard and Sierra) from Vivindi, and then Vivindi buys 52% of Activision Blizzard? It doesn't seem very straight forward but maybe someone who understands more about business things like this can explain it a bit better.

When Activision and Vivendi games merged, it meant Vivendi couldn't retain majority ownership of the new company because Activision was bigger than Vivendi Games. In light of that, Vivendi bought part of Activision so that they would own over 50% of the new Activision Blizzard after the merge.

Thats good, I prefer Vivendi's mode of business.
