According to inside sources, Vivendi UK is soon to feel the impact of the Activision-Blizzard merger: layoffs are coming.

Although some people are invited to apply for new jobs in the merged company, Vivendi UK apparently will be facing a major layoff session while Activision UK will remain mostly intact.

According to senior sources the majority of the Vivendi team, which oversees the Sierra games label among other things, will face job losses - although some will be invited to apply for new roles in the merged company. Meanwhile the staff base at Activision UK will remain largely intact, it is understood.
Furthermore it's believed that several Sierra games are currently under scrutiny and might get the axe. Which games are in danger isn't known at this point.
