Activision has announced some earth-shattering news: the gaming giant would be merging with Vivendi Games to form one monolithic gaming company called Activision Blizzard. The deal, worth almost $20 billion, will see Activision CEO Bobby Kotick keep his place as CEO, while Vivendi's Bruce Hack will become the Chief Corporate Officer of the combined company.
