There's a chance, but this isn't battle.net, so adult, well-reasoned posts without personal attacks that actually discuss the series usually stay up. Sorry.
They don't understand that the game sold 10 million copies at $60 not including RMAH, That's $600 million dollars the game made before RMAH.
Uh... no. Agreed with your point in regards to Bliz's general hugeness and the laughable nature of D3 relative to their resources, BUT, a big chunk of those "sales" were giveaways for WoW year subs, while the ones that weren't didn't make a straight 60 bucks in any case. Also, national TV campaigns aren't free - espn isn't known to give away half-minute slots.
The real point is that WoW has actually revenued more than D3 since release, and done it with much, much better margins. D3 is an R&D experiment/loss leader. It's the rat in the lab, not the dog in the yard (WoW) or cat in the living room (SC).

Sure, but it was a mess with a fully functional single player game. You do know what that is, right?

Not only is it unofficial, but it may well piss them off enough to move it out a few weeks while finding a way to punish the leaker.
Remember the potential blizcon in vegas?

With today's news, I guess that isn't the case. What's next? A permanent pet in D3?
