Upside: There's NO WAY someone won't buy a majority stake in Blizzard.

Downside: Who knows if they will be as "hands off" as Vivendi was supposed to have been.

Well, you know it will be EA. And you know they will then just crank out Diablo 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.... and Starcraft 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..... They already love the fact that the Blizzard games already use the "online connection required for single player games" DRM, since they won't need to deal with an uproar from their customer base, since it is already in place...

I really doubt that will ever happen. Activision cranks out sequels year after year for CoD. You only get 1 Starcraft and 1 Diablo once very 10 years.
