"SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2 — In a deal that creates the biggest independent video game publisher in the world, Vivendi announced Sunday it plans to acquire a controlling stake in Activision.

Under the arrangement, the companies said Vivendi would pay $1.7 billion in cash and fold its games operations into Activision’s. The deal will leave Vivendi with a 68 percent share of the combined company, to be called Activision Blizzard."
