do they already have tabs on which customers are rich or something? if blizzard called me and asked me if i wanted to pay $500 to have dinner with them i'd tell them to fuck off. shouldn't a charity dinner actually be a good deal? what exactly are you getting for $500 ? (yeah, i read the one guy's description. but what's in the loot bag?) i mean jesus, devs aren't celebrities. or are they? do any of u guys actually get very excited by the prospect of meeting developers? i might actually pay for it if bobby kotick was there so i could throw my wine in his face. | ||

It can be one of two things: 1) It's a scam without Blizzard or any charities involved. 2) It's a scam hosted by Blizzard, the proceeds of which will go to charity. EDIT: Well, maybe three things. 3) It's a good deal if you're filthy stinkin' rich. | ||

Pondered for over 5 minutes on what the hell everyone was talking about and where the funny was to be found... then I google'd myopia. | ||

You, the diner, are not the charity and are therefore not getting the good deal. On the contrary, you are the donator and are paying a disproportionate amount for the dinner so that some of your fee goes to a charity. The worse the deal, the more charitable the charity dinner is. | ||

You're right, I missed the point entirely! I fail to recognize that they have infinite demand for this sort of thing already, it's not like the dinner won't fill up. | ||
