I remember having a discussion about how Vivendi was gonna sell Blizzard and how the company was treated badly and how 3-4 managment guys from Blizzard North left because of all that...

So this whole issue is arising again, apparently the company might be splitting into two, one of which is planning to merge with General Electric. The other (containing gaming assets)... well its unknown whats gonna happen to them now. Blizzard had 5 different owners in past 10 years, but this one is the most messed up.

I hope the company will not get screwed up... and whatever happened to those guys who founded Blizzard North and left?
