Electronic Arts and Activision? what are you smoking?

It will be called “Electronic Arts Activision Blizzard” or “EAAB” for short.

Will the mergers ever end? Next will be Electronic Arts and Activision…

I think your supposition is wrong.

1. EA has prior experience with NCSoft’s Garriott brothers when they bought Origin. That was a total disaster.

2. Tabula Rasa is effectively a POS and will have a shelf life of maybe 6 months, before it is ‘vanguarded’ into the trash heap.

3. Lineage is a dying product line.

4. Guild Wars is great, but not worth the price tag of the entire company.

5. Why buy Guild Wars and Lineage when you just plunked down $250 M for Mythic/Warhammer? Hello?

It is a bad idea on many levels.

EA buying Lineage, Tabula Rasa and Guild Wars? Sounds like the kiss of death for those games.
