Video game maker Activision Blizzard is a firm believer that action speaks louder than words. The video game publisher is best known for title franchises such as World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, "Tony Hawk, Doom," and "Call of Duty". It also makes games based on licensed properties from LucasArts (Star Wars), Marvel (Spider-Man and X-Men), and DreamWorks Animation (Shrek). Its titles are produced for console game systems and handheld devices from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. In 2008 Vivendi acquired a 52% stake in the company in a deal valued at $9.8 billion; Vivendi combined Activision with Vivendi Games (and its Blizzard Entertainment division) to form Activision Blizzard.
