“The surprise announcement of the impending merger of Activision and Vivendi Games that was announced in December 2007 caused shockwaves throughout the industry that are still being felt now, in mid-2008, as the deal rolls towards completion.

In this in-depth investigation, Gamasutra will be summarizing the details of the merger and look at their moves since the announcement, with commentary from some of the industry’s most respected authorities in their field, including Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter and game attorney Thomas H. Buscaglia.”

A big feature on the biggest news story in the industry, that does a pretty good job summarizing the developments up to this point (if I don’t say so myself!) and has some really nice commentary. Worth a read if you’re into that sort of stuff.
