He says they inflate it with free offers, counting accounts which aren't currently paying, and a bunch of other tricks. However, I'd love to hear more informed people talk on the subject. As a person in a guild of 150+ members, I'd say that the numbers probably are stable(at whatever the ACTUAL number is). I can only count a few people that stopped playing and we had MANY people start playing SWTOR... but they still never canceled their wow subs and play both actively. So, at least from my own personal small sample size... 150-member guild... 3 people have quit and we've even picked up a couple members who started playing again(re-subscribers). WoW players are a dedicated bunch.. lol  | ||

No, they didn't, they just said that they're expecting 2 new releases for blizz in 2012. One of them is Diablo 3, the other is speculated to likely be the WoW expansion or blizzard Dota instead of HotS | ||

They ment both, they also mentioned Blizz revenue would be down vs Q1 last year because of the release of Cataclysm and lower subscriber numbers. Nothing in the coming quarter unless a MW map pack for xbox floats your boat. | ||

They had a lot to show back at Blizzcon, its half a year later and they say one year isn't enough to release it? Jesus... Cause they realized just how broken every unit they demoed was and now have to completely redesign them to not destroy what little balance there is | ||

Activision is currently pumping up how "great" Call of Duty is and how it's the savoir of the industry. | ||

Taking a guess i'd say HOTS beta will come in 2012 but it probably wont release until 2013 TT | ||

Shareholders couldn't care less about the quality of games, just the bottom line. Sad but true  | ||

You guys do realize that an earnings call is to report on a company's financial performance and to the extent that it's relevant, their upcoming products, not to cater to the demands of gamers per se. Don't expect any major release dates or entertainment value here. | ||

So far the WoW expansions have been pretty close to 2 years apart and cataclysm came in december 2010. At least their pace in creating patch content hasn't increased so I wouldn't expect an expansion to come any faster either. So D3, HotS during 2012 with possibly Pandaria coming too. Dragon Soul is the last raid of Cata Blizz wont leave them alone with that content for a whole year | ||
