Sounds like someone wanted to sell High, so to speak.

 Blizzard is sitting pretty with Diablo 3 & StarCraft 2 being developed and WoW still going strong. What reason would a company that is making money everymonth (residual income anyone) over 8 million players, even if only half of them are active that $14.99 a month from 4 million peeps (or $12.99 if they pay for a year in advance).

 So why sell? ... O.o

Oh well, I am excited to see what changes are made, note* I am not part of the 8 million so good or bad I will be watching as a curious bystandard.

Hey... this is great and all ... but I want My SLI and Nehalem (bless you-as in a sneeze) to be bed fellows.

Not many things could be better than Nehalem (bless you) and SLI playing together in a happy childhood memory sort of way!!

I'm Sorry but seeing as how I work on a "Service Desk" based in the US. I abhor the thought of losing my job to someone over seas claiming his name is Jeff.

 On the flip side I see why it is a tempting avenue for companies that want to save mega bucks on Tech support.

That in mind, I really wish large companies (of all makes and models) would take the time to listen to their "user groups" or "target audiences" when it comes to something like this. It seems too often that companies are more worried about making the Stock holder happy than the end customer. I see that as a catch 22 so to speak, in that it would stand to reason that if the EC is happy then the Stock Holder would be happy as a happy EC tells friends and creates more business. More Business makes Stock Holders Happy.

Am I just way off base.
