Blizzard and Activision will be merging (actually Activision and Blizzard's parent company Vivendi are merging but no one thinks of WOW when you say Vivendi). Activision are one of the oldest developers in gaming responsible for such classics as Pitfall on the Atari and the little remembered River Raid (...don't worry River Raid, I won't forget you).

All that needs to happen now is for EA to purchase Take Two. Then EA to purchase Ubisoft and Activision and we will begin to see the reduction of competition across the board. The beginnings for the creation of the UberDeveloper are well and truly in place.
