Why do people claim activision "own" blizzard?

[steveyboy]

I mean really? Are you people all clueless? Vivendi owns both companies not activision owning blizzard..........

Why do people argue about it? It's a partnership.

Because people want to find reasons to complain, and it is easy to point the finger and cry at Activision
Personally I think they teamed up with Activision to help sell party titles when they release their Battlenet 2.0 Client for 3rd party developers

Actually anyone can own activision..its on the open stock market

They're equal, for all intents and purposes, both owned by someone else.

People always find reasons to complain about something.
