The French mega-conglomerate formerly known as "Vivendi Universal"...

Vivendi is no longer "universal" - they'll just settle for 6.5 million World of Warcraft subscribers. That's right, the newly renamed "Vivendi Games" sold it's last remaining shares in Universal and will now sport two new divisions: one devoted to online games, the other to mobile gaming. VG is best known as the parent company to Blizzard Entertainment, makers of the most prosperous MMORPG to-date.

Vivendi Universal Games is dropping the Universal from its name and becoming Vivendi Games (VG). This name change follows that of its corporate parent, Vivendi Universal, which has become simply Vivendi, following through with its plans to sell its last remaining stake in Universal (merged last year with NBC). The internal workings of both Vivendi and VG will remain the same, except for the formation of two new divisions devoted to mobile and online gaming.
