History Creator / Activision

* ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron

!!Sierra Entertainment properties:

In 2007, Activision became the single largest third-party game developer in the United States (after it merged with VivendiGames, the holding company of Creator/BlizzardEntertainment, best known for ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'', ''Franchise/StarCraft'' and ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' and thus becoming Activision Blizzard), surpassing Creator/ElectronicArts. Today, the company is best known for being the publisher of the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' series and games by Creator/BlizzardEntertainment, kicking off the late 2000s music game fad with the ''VideoGame/GuitarHero'' series and for its controversial business practices, especially concerning the contractual dispute with ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' developer Infinity Ward.

Unlike many other companies developing games for second-generation consoles, Activision survived TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 intact, being quick to jump on the UsefulNotes/Commodore64 bandwagon, and even added to its catalog several games from defunct competitor Imagic. Activision acquired Creator/{{Infocom}} in 1986.
