This morning, a wholly unexpected press release went out announcing that Activision and Vivendi/Universal Games (including Blizzard entertainment) are set to merge, creating the largest game-publisher in the world. The new company will be boringly named “Activision Blizzard”.

Hmm… this uncannily looks like Universal Music, Sony Music, BMG, EMI, and Warner…
