ESRB and montly fees have no impact on who plays the game.
Parents will still make purchases to shut their kids up...or to make them happy even if its not what is sujested by some department we did not elect...
BATTLE.NET
Battle.net has never required a fee, however that is not to say that they will not. Until there is official word no one will know. Blogging about it will not get you the information you are looking for.
Diablo II
The game came out 7 years ago and has numerous patches. Look at what they do on WoW during an update. Once in a while something new and exciting but usually just fix bugs. So dont make it seem like WoW is making gaming history by creating NEW STUFF every week. They simply are not. To say that they are is a lie and maybe a subconscious way of making yourself feel better for spending 15 bucks a month.
WoW numbers:
Blizz is making over 1billion dollars a year off of your monthly subscriptions. Look at how many people are playing, then multiply that number by 15. I know it may be difficult but try it the numbers are out there just takes a little research. Now since many of you do not know just how much a billion is ill try to explain it to you. 1 million seconds is about 11.5 days...to where 1 billion seconds is about 31.7 YEARS. No one can tell me that pay roll, business expenses, RnD, and actual Programming and integration is costing any where near that amount. Where do you think that they came up with the money to make the D3 and where do you think that they will get the money to update it and keep it running smooth. Diablo is kinda like the Corvett. Chevy makes little to NO money of of it each year, however it is A BIG DEAL so they keep it around because they are not really loosing money off it, they are just not making much. And it does not matter if they dont make much because their sales off of other vehicles carries it. Again the numbers are out there, look it up.
SUMMARY:
Crying about things is as effective as attempting to understand a story by sleeping with the book and never reading it. Actions speak louder than words...getting any of this...you are not in control so if there is a fee then for some reason people will be happy and others will not to where the adverse is true as well.
