    So they're down $10m+ a month in income? Wow! That must hurt!

    Not played it myself...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    World of Warcraft has been the top dog for what, 5 years now? More?

    It had to come to an end some time. Everyone knew it, not even Blizzard could've been oblivious to the fact that eventually people were gonna drift off to other games.

    So is this a bad thing? I don't think so. Now Blizzard will start working on something else. Christ, it took them like 1,5 years to develop Heart of the Swarm after the release of Wings of Liberty. Or was it even longer?
