Activision has just announced that a special meeting of shareholders has given the publishing giant its approval to complete the proposed merger with Blizzard and Vivendi Games. Activision says that when the transaction closes on its expected July 9th date, Vivendi Games will become a new wholly owned subsidiary of Activision.
The proposal to merge the two giants was announced in December 2007 and has since been the topic of much discussion in the gaming industry.
