Actually, you got that wrong. What is merging with Activision is the games division of Vivendi, Vivendi Games, the main asset of which is Blizzard, but also some other games companies like Sierra. Its parent company, Vivendi, will have a 52% (and hence controlling) stake in the newly formed entity, Activision Blizzard. Vivendi itself is a fairly large media conglomerate, a member of the French CAC40 as well as the Eurostoxx50 indices, and isn't going anywhere at the moment.
