I think this is a ploy to keep people in wow instead of going to SWTOR, disguised as a ploy to keep people into wow instead of going to Diablo 3.
A lot of friends I know will pay a subscription for only one game, and if there's a contract like this, they'll stay with it until it runs out instead of paying for 2 subscriptions.
Yeah. I think we can all agree that this is both pretty smart as a business move and a pretty sweet deal for those who wants to continue playing WoW when D3 is released :).
Personally I won't have time for WoW when I have Diablo 3 so I won't really benefit from this deal. I did some quick math on it and for it to be "worth it" I would need to want my wow subscriptions for at least 7 out of the 12 months. I doubt I'll want that.
Seems like this could be a really good thing. This ultimately helps brings in more players => sales / profits => more continual and high quality support / expansions / patches, etc.
On the other hand, what are some possible downsides?
Pick any option you wish, but you are signing a contract to pay at least 12 months.
My guess is if you break the contract, they deactivate your D3 account.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
