Activision Blizzard!

This BBC article has announced the tie up between Activision and Blizzard! They are worth a combined £9bn which is an amazing amount of money. I suspect that one of the main assets of this is the nine million subscribers to WoW and the Guitar Hero franchise.

I wonder if they are going to produce a new masterpiece (blizzard is well on its way to becoming a one hit wonder) with WoW (though I am not knocking its amazing stranglehold on the industry). :D

It's an interesting move, Blizzard are obviously interested in breaking into the console market, which could be interesting. WoW on the Wii maybe?

MacWorld are reporting over 1 million concurrent users of their software in China. That is an amazing figure of gamers! Cool. :-D

Well, if Mike was really desperate he could set up a hidden forum where everyone except Lizzie had access, but that might be construed as mean...

That's sure a lot of users for WoW... probably needs one of those infamous coal-fired power plants just to run the server farm.

mr_e you promised you would not mention 'The Den' in a public forum. I am shocked that you have broken the sacred bond of trust!

Mike- you know you can't keep secrets from me as witnessed by your lack being able to keep christmas presents a secret. Plus, you're just not a devious person I'm glad to say! :-D
