    Vivendi......hmmm they the ones that did the 'hyped' Riddick game that offered a huge 12hrs approx of gameplay...........never rated them as a true gamers publishers anyway

        Which might explain their predicamnet I know them for producing/publishing fairly poor games - mostly garish 3D games with little content beyond the visuals.

        At least thats my impression of what their name means to me.

          Except that they owned Blizzard, and maybe even still do.

                Idiots.

                If you don't play MP you will *never* appreciate what Blizzard is to the gaming world.

                    Sierra bought out Impressions (makers of Caesar) and Dynamix (Makers of Willy Beamish/some other gmaes)

                    Then CDC bought them out.

                    then a French Sewage company bought them out.

                    Then vivendi bought Blizzard and a few other properties.

                    then vivendi bought Sierra from the French.

                    And that's how we get where we are today

                      Anyone hear anything about how this might affect plans for another No One Lives Forever game?

                        It seems as though the industry is starting to drift back from the "huge bloated game companies" part of the cycle towards the "small sink-or-swim game companies" part. Interplay's in trouble, Sierra's in trouble...

                          Sony isn't doing so well.

                          Although that's last years. This years due out soonish.

                              He's wrong.

                              Blizzard games suck horribly in single player mode. And some suck no matter what.
