Blizzard is too big to be manipulated like that, though, and it's fans are way too fickle to put up with watered-down games. Vivendi has owned Blizzard for a long time and the Blizzard developers have stated publicly that they've basically been left alone to do their own things.

Activision wants to compete with EA, though, but I don't think that they're going to be churning out new games at any incredible pace... maybe additional expansion packs to extend the life of old games, but that's technically not a "new" game.
