Activision is a division of Activision Blizzard.
Computer Arts, Inc.
Computer Arts, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Jim Levy and former Atari programmers David Crane, Larry Kaplan, Alan Miller and Bob Whitehead.
Activision, Inc.
Shortly after its foundation, in 1979, Computer Arts, Inc. was renamed to Activision, Inc.
Mediagenic
In 1988, they branched out to other forms of software than video games, and changed the name of their corporate name to Mediagenic.
Under the Mediagenic holding company, they continued to produce and publish games as Activision. Following a lawsuit that resulted in Mediagenic having to pay millions in damages, an investor group consisting of Robert Kotick and Brian Kelly purchased Mediagenic in 1990.
Activision Blizzard
They renamed the company back to Activision in 1992. In 2008, Activision was merged with Vivendi Games to form the holding company Activision Blizzard.
In 2013, Activision Blizzard purchased most of Vivendi's shares of the Activision Blizzard stock to become an independent company. As in the Mediagenic years, they still produce and publish games under the Activision name while under the Activision Blizzard holding company.
