Then the manager tells you 'the waiter we've created provides the kind of experience our customers want, and we are working to improve any problems with him'.

Think this sums up Bnet and SC2 pretty well givent the last interview

The sad truth is, they wont fail, Activision Blizzard does have a long term approach to Blizzard games, you will buy SC2, pretty much everyone here will even though they say they wont and even if you dont, it wont matter. All those ''casuals'' will buy it, sure they'll get bored after a month, so what ? some months after SC2 they'll buy Cataclysm, then they'll buy Diablo 3 some months after that, sure they'll just leave those get dusty somewhere after another month too, but they'll just NEED to have the SC2 ''full priced expansion'' which will, again, get pretty boring pretty quickly, no need to worry though, im sure the first full priced Diablo 3 expansion is already on its way, after all they need something to cover the time between the next full priced SC2 expansion, and after that, theres that new MMO, oh that'll put some more money in their pockets, and then they'll just start it all over again.

I can't believe how well this fits

C'mon Blizzard, you're better than this!

The people boycotting it probably are smart enough to realize that someone will crack it so they will still get the 1P and storyline modes almost as fast as everyone else. Only the little kids who are stuck in the mentally infantile state of "I have to have my new toy NOW NOW NOW I WANT IT" would make their parents pay the hundreds of dollars it'll take to play the "full version" of SC2.

The old waiter let me and my friends have free food.

Not everyone is under 14 and has their parents buying their games, in-fact most people on this forum are probably more like 20 and pay for games on their own.

XD thats great! (dang waiter)
|

hit the nail on the head, but the food isn't all that great
|
I agree. This is a great metaphor.
The sad part, is that it isn't even complete. and Blizzard is worse than that. You can be removed from the restraunt at any time for any reason.

A very good analogy. I certainly hope Blizzard takes notice of that waiter!
