Which is totally fair to spread the funds around in that way.

So, your telling me blizz did not make an additional 1.1 million off gamers? That was my point. Naive is acting like Blizz gave 2.2 million. See the difference or do i have to type s l o w e r for you. Would i make a snide remark about the homeless person, ya i would. I've been around to many to know most of them are a drain on tax payers resources. But if YOU live in a perfect world and only know the homeless from an ABC special i guess i would feel bad for them. Who's naive now? Thx for playing bud...PWND In response,

I bet you would make a snide remark at somebody for only pulling out a $5 bill and handing it to a homeless person if you saw they had $10 more in their wallet. Why don't you just appreciate Blizzard for the good they DID do instead of what you feel they should have done. They are a business and need to pay for their expenses just like every other business. Ninja'd 1.1 million from gamers. Please. You must be a Democratic congressman somewhere. REALLY?, don’t be so naive.

Out of pocket cost for making the Monk was not 1.1 million. Sounds like Blizz Ninja'd 1.1 million from gamers...i would open a ticket, but i dont have all day to wait for the GM!

Clearly WoW and other games have a powerful and far-reaching ability to fundraise. Blizzard, if you're reading this, please consider doing the same for OC schools who are suffering greatly, and for the earthquake victims in Haiti. You have the ability to do great things.

I purchased one myself before i knew of the donations. Blizzard is one of the few companies that truly give back to its players and the community. This is why World of Warcraft has such a huge following. More companies can learn from there structure to give back from time to time.
