Yeah they are merging but the game development will stay the same

Q: Will Activision and Blizzard now share development teams?
A: No, both of our companies will continue to operate as they have previously with regard to game development.

Future of gaming will still be fairly linear

It's a bad thing. The companies were big enough on their own. It's not good that we see a few massive companies in charge of things instead of many smaller ones - in any endeavour, including gaming.
