    Vivendi announced that their video game department, Vivendi Games, is going to merge with Activision to create a new company called Activision Blizzard. All the people that follow Blizz know that they were safe under the wing of Vivendi because they were, apparently, far off from all the mess and influence of the main company, but now they are coming closer and closer to becoming part of the main entity.

    The newest patch for the World of Warcraft came out and, like always, sparks are flying!
    Hunters got "buffed" so everyone is crying; the way Global Cooldown was changed also has everyone crying; Zul' Aman is on contested territory so everyone is crying, etc, etc, etc. Either people in WOW cry more than in other games, or there are so many people playing that game that there is always going to be some one crying one of the changes.
