Vivendi owns, among other things, Blizzard.

Be afraid. Be _very_ afraid.

If Microsoft decided to buy PC-only game developers, I wouldn't mind. But they're slowly buying Mac/PC companies that actually produce good games. Macs are slowly losing the top game developers.

I've seen many Mac/PC developers+publishers get bought by some larger company and become PC-only. Maxis, Sierra, Bungie, and now possibly Blizzard...I'm sure there's a ton more but I don't even want to think about it.

Geez Microsoft and all their dang money. It's just not fair. I just hope they don't jack with Blizzard if they buy it.
