Studiet Vicarious Visions har tidligere for alvor gjort sig bemærket, ved på mesterlig vis at restaurere visse ikoniske spil for Activision Blizzard. De ejes i dag af selvsamme virksomhed, og det er nu angiveligt planen helt at opløse studiet, for så at lade det indgå som en forlængelse af Blizzards interne hold.
Polygon kan rapportere, at ansatte hos studiet har fået at vide, at de officielt "merger" med Blizzard, og dermed ikke teknisk set er deres egen entitet længere.
"Vicarious Visions workers told Polygon that they were initially under the impression the merger meant their employer would continue to operate as its own studio, although it was owned by Blizzard. The news about the name drop came during a town hall meeting on Wednesday morning. A new name for the studio has not been announced, but some workers speculated that it could be simply called Blizzard Albany. (Vicarious Visions' office is located in Albany, New York. Blizzard typically uses this naming convention for its satellite offices, for example, Blizzard Austin in Texas.)"
Som der står er der ikke noget nyt navn, og det er slet ikke sikkert at de får et.
