At $15 a month, that's a good $30,000,000 a month right into Blizzard's outstanding bank account! Which, of course, makes sense of this: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3141242 Not to mention: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3141477 Honestly, unlike some other takeovers (Enix, EA), I could not be happier if Blizzard went off right now rend the market to tatters. Having never really played it, I think what World of Warcraft has done is simply incredible.

24 June 2005 16:43 vip Wiegraf Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	That being said, I think 360 million dollars a year should keep those servers (and hookers) well oiled and running smoothly.... As an aside, is Blizzard hiring?
25 June 2005 09:34 staff Rahul Face of Square Haven online \| PM \| e-mail	Blizzard is always hiring. But you have to be awesome to get hired. That said, considering my abundant awesomeness, I will be applying for a job at their European and Calfornia locations as soon as I graduate.
