Hate to break it to you pal but 2007 when BC launched was before 2008 when Activision acquired blizzard. Good creative writing project though!
Respectfully, you saying this to someone asking for more end game PvP content which doesnt impact you in any way IS the worst take ever. Respectfully.
I very much agree. Does that mean we cannot have more end game PvP content? We can have both. breathe
“Around 2006, Kotick reached out to Jean-Bernard Lévy, the CEO of the French media conglomerate Vivendi. Vivendi at that time had the games division Vivendi Games, a holding company principally for Sierra Entertainment and Blizzard Entertainment. Kotick wanted to get access to Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, a successful MMO, and suggested a means to acquire this to Lévy. Lévy instead offered that he would be willing to merge Vivendi Games with Activision, but only if Vivendi kept majority control of the merged company.”
“Kotick proposed the merger to Activision’s board, which agreed to it in December 2007.”

Shareholder approval came in 2008, which finalized the deal. I don’t know why so many think these things happen overnight. They’re usually years in the making with many ‘behind closed-door meetings’ before it’s ever made public.
