Vivendi Universal announced earnings and a changed name

what a story

Well it interests me, so you can take your criticism elsewhere.

Nice to see some computer software company making strides forward . Its been a while but W.O.W has made an impact on the world as a web based game to bad they dont offer an off line version for those who cant get a cable or broadband hook up... kids at my high school rave about their product... so cheers to them and a new namecouldnt hurt since they are only a division of the partent company.

Sir, I don't give a good god damn whether this article interests you or not. Members are encouraged to post whatever the hell they want, it's their membership. If you don't like it move to China. In the meantime I suggest you look busy and say nothing.

Yes, but "what an article" if intended to be sarcastic (how I assumed it to be) is just derogatory, and doesn't add anything useful to the discussion - I believe there's something in the AUP about not posting irrelevant comments. I don't like to argue, makes me sound to be an old arrogant fool (of which i am only the latter). But don't back up people who have nothing to say. Do Vivendi produce some of their major titles or just publish most of them?

LOL @ carg0

Yes posting irrelevant or smart ass comments is reason for a mod to throw you out, or you could get banned from posting to news comments altogether. We don't really enforce it tho, but some idiotic people have been tempting us lately by turninmg news comments into safety valve-like threads, or starting world war iii.

precisely, like for instance "MPAA should go to hell" whilst not theoretically breaking forum rules, does nothing but waste the time of both the writer and reader.

Even if MPAA truly does deserve to go to hell.

Great diffrent name same stink *L* Sicne when do they ahve anythign to do with WOW? 0-o I tohught blizzard owen it wholely did blizzard get bought out is that why there has not been anythign since WOW? 0_o damn I am confussed *L*

VU Games started as Universal Games. Yes, VU bought Blizzard quite some time ago. After the destruction of Universal... I think it is good that Vivendi Universal is going back to it's original name and rebranding the divisions that it kept. I was with Universal before the merger with Vivendi. VU did very well in the Music and Games arenas, but not so well with the Movies and TV divisions.

Raidenko damn no wonder BLizzard hasnt done anythign sicne WOW I tohught it was odd theyve been milking it to death...I guess thats why SC ghost was made..the suits wanted to cash in...it was fianly startign to look good..ah well mabye when all the systems are out they will release it *L* MMm building up devs are they..mabye soemthign worth while will coem out Mmmmmm I'll go look it up but I wonder what games they owen...mmmmm damn they have Fallout "such as it is" 3 (well didnt serria have it..no wait bethsda has it now *L*)....mmmmmm FEAR was good...mmmmm they do have some good titles ...christ...interpaly should ahve finished FO3 befor cansleing it it could ahve saved them atleast from the looks of the leaks now no one knows what 3d trash it will be....Mmmmmmmmmm altho if done right a FPAdventure game wouldnt be so bad mabye mroe simple than morowind and no timed quests >< always messed me up in FO1 *L* ack I ranted to much sorry all *L*

Sierra is also part of VU Games...

Raidenko Bethsda? Serria had the FO rights at one time I think,now bethsda has it and 10 to 1 its going to be a Morrowindish clone.

Lol, what happened ZippyDSM, you wrote that last post in english!!

If they stopped putting rootkits into their games maybe they would be more profitable.
