Like the above poster mentioned, most companies give money to charities for the tax breaks - I'm sure that Activision-Blizzard accountants are making use of every tax break possible.
Also, I've never been impressed with companies (or individuals) that boast about their charitable donations. It's always companies with PR issues that want to shove their "charity" in your face. They donate in order to make you spend more money with them (*cough* Wal-Mart *cough*).
If Blizzard is giving money to charity then good for them. There is no reason that they should be telling everybody about it - the focus should be on those in need, and not those doing the giving.

Also it's their money,they worked for it.They can do anything they want with it.If they want to share it,good fo them,if not,what did we have what did we lose?
Lets see...250,000 people die in the Boxing Day tsunami that hit Indonesia & Sri Lanka years ago, now theres Samoa thats been destroyed by a tsunami and you think like that ?
Selfish minded, i hope a tornado, tsunami or earthquake doesnt wipe out all the people you care about in your life...how selfish minded are you ?
While I sympathize with your concern for charity, CS, Arathian is completely right. I feel most people will think ill of you if you try to coercively bully them into doing things without their own personal motivation to do so, even charity. Yes, a lot of people have died in Samoa. A lot of people die every day, from causes ranging from hunger to murder, oppression, slavery and of course natural disaster. Sadly, we can't help everyone. It's a dog-eat-dog world and survival of the fittest is king. That's just the nature of life.
Save your zealotry for church. Most people in the world do care for others and they could stand to care a little more but pushing them into it ain't gonna make the world any friendlier a place to live in; you're just being fascist.
Off-topic, I don't think naming yourself after the Cronulla Sharks is such a smart idea if you want to come off as morally superior anywhere. =P
Survival of the fittest is long gone in our modern world.

Blizzard earns nearly $1,000,000,000 per quarter.
Lol, they don't. That's the money the game bring in, not the actual profit. Do you even think of the huge maintenance costs having a world wide company with thousands of employees? I think you do not -.-
You can't demand anybody to donate to charity, it's my OWN choice if I want to donate a hundred Swedish Kronor (20$) or not. If you donate 10% of your salary, more power to you, but you can't force ANYBODY what so ever to donate a dollar if we do not want to. Give us a shot of the good ol' "Selfish cannon" if you'd like, noone gives a damn anyway.

Look at Activision-Blizzard's quarterly earnings report and tell me again its revenue isn't close to $1 billion per quarter. Earnings =/= profit.
And congrats for finding a list of companies donating to the 2004 tsunami relief, which happened less than a month after WoW was even released.This made me laugh aloud.
