Does Activision get a cut off World of Warcraft?

Ok this is probably a strange question, but I've been trying to make certain of this and I can't find anything solid on it. We all know Activision and Blizard merged and obviously Activision is now making money off of Blizard. But what I'm wondering is if they are getting a cut off anything World of Warcraft related as well. If they do, then I'm afraid that I will be cancelling my WoW account because after reading the whole thing about Activision sueing the developer of Brutal Legend, I have decided to no longer invest money into any games that Activision is getting a cut off.

So to put it simply, if Activision makes money off WoW, I will no longer play WoW. If all the money goes to Blizzard itself, however, then I'll continue playing it. I just don't want Activision to get a single penny of my money anymore, not after the dick move they made towards Brutal Legend and the team behind it.

I wonder this also, hopefully blizzard made an agreement they wouldn't get anything out of Wow, if so I won't be going back, Activision are turning into what EA used to be, and worst.

That's a stupid reason to quit WoW, but whatever. I'm sure it all pools into one giant mass of money, but I really have no clue. The WoW team only has 160 people so either they're really rich or the money is going somewhere else.

Well, you only have to look at the stock reports and any other financial reports. Yes, they do get 'a cut' from wow, they get ALL OF IT. In their last report, the money Activision made from WoW was almost equal (literally, short only a couple hundred thousand monies) to that of everything else they make money from combined.

Appearantly you haven't been following things between Activision and Brutal Legend all that closely. This is not about them dropping the game. It is about Activision sueing the people behind the game now that they realize another company is going to be making money off it. In other words, they realize they made a mistake and instead of just owning up to that mistake they decided to do whatever they can to run Brutal Legend into the ground. And that is an incredibly dick move. That would be like... Me giving my Xbox 360 to someone because I don't like any of the games on it, and then later on, when I realize there are games I want, going to the police to say they stole my console.

They might not have seen the money-making capabilities behind Brutal Legend when they dropped it, which is just the way bussines works. But to fuck the people behind the game over now that Activision realizes they were wrong to drop that game? That is just fucked up.

Well yes and no. It's good to know that Vivendi has a stake in this whole lawsuit as well. But what I'm basically wondering is... does any of the 15 bucks I pay each month go to Activision or does it all go to Blizzard itself. If the answer is, "yes part of the money (or all of it) goes to Activision," then I won't be putting any more money into that game. If, however, the answer is, "no Blizzard keeps all the money they make off of the subcription fee," then I will continue to play WoW. I just do not want Activision getting their hands on my money anymore. Not after the shit they're pulling. And now that I know Vivendi has something to do with that whole lawsuit as well, I won't be giving any more my money to them either.

Let me make one thing clear. I am not someone who goes around boycotting every company that does something I don't agree with. In fact, I have never in my whole life done such a thing. But I find this lawsuit to be such an incredibly despicable thing that I can't, from a moral perspective, with a clean conscious continue to invest money into anything Activision does.

I'm sure Blizzard makes money off Activision, too...
