Vivendi and Activision merge to make Activision Blizzard

[jackskellington101]

Vivendi and Activision are having a 18.9 billion dollar merger, as announced today by both companies, creating a new industry giant in the world of video games. Their combined revenues this year is estimated at 3.8 billion dollars, 700 million more than their greatest competitor, Electronic Arts. This merger changes the landscape of the video game industry drastically by now creating two monster companies on the field. So, is a good thing for the industry as a whole, the beginning of the end for the little guy, or both?

What does this mean for Robb? Doesn't he work for Activision? Concerned here because mergers usually clear out many duplicate/extra/unneeded positions in order to save money. Hope things are ok for the Alveys.
