Wouldn't it be wonderful if after the merger they realized they had enough of our hard earned money. yea right. I hear they rumored about dropping charges in Asia somewhere, that was before the merger even.

Such as what?

i dont know but there will be and they should drop the charges they make so much money already


9 million x $15 = $135,000,000 a month
though they employ about that many ppl

You think they should be making games for free? If people don't think the game is worth it, they won't pay. If they do think WoW is worth it, what's the problem?

Here's some speculation that Sega will be next!

While I don't play this game I agree with Don, if people don't think its worth it they won't pay. But really, $15.00 a month for something you spend quite a few hours on (20+? a month) is really quite cheap. You can drop $15.00 to catch a matinee and only occupy yourself for 2 hours or less.

My life/schedule doesn't permit me to play something this time consuming (all at one time), but if it did I could see it being worth it to me.
