Even though Blizzard is part of Activision-Blizzard, Blizzard is treated as a separate entity from Activision. In a sense Blizzard is a company within a company. Yes, they have to answer to Activision CEO, but they have their own infrastructure and have the power to make decisions independently. So, I don't think this is being forced by Activision-Blizzard.

Keep in mind that this happens all the time in the gaming industry. You work on a project and when you have completed that project, unless you've been reassigned to a new project, are usually let go. This goes on in all gaming companies (Square-Enix and Namco-Bandai come to mind).

Granted, no one knows for sure and everything said here in speculation on our part, but I thought I'd add my 2 copper to this conversation.
