A great deal of uncertainty is surrounding the merger of Activision and Vivendi in Europe, with sources on all sides expressing worries about how the future will pan out for Activision Blizzard in terms of staffing, office locations and resultant portfolio.
The two companies will begin to merge in the coming months, so it’s doubtful we’re going to have to wait long to see how things are going to shape up.
