That's the cheapest I've seen an expansion sell for during the first year of release. Little surprising.

Can you say "Attempting to recoup losses"?

Contrary to what people think, that 600k people (more by now) hit home for them.

Newegg is always famed for being able to get crazy prices for its products. It is the de facto place to build a PC for Americans, as far as I know.

in other news, things on newegg are often way cheaper than elsewhere

According to what? I've seen your Blizzard-bashing statements in the other thread as well and I challenge you to provide evidence for your claims instead of jumping on the Blizzard hate bandwagon.

wow can't beleive it's that cheap alrdy, but i agree that it is prolly for the loss

[Xema-Do]

Blizzard is having big problem because next quarter they will go reporting another big loss in subscription. They also give free short term subscriptions if your buy other Blizzard game.

... Have you seen the quarterly?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, and please don't sit their and try and flame me because I disagree with the direction the company is going in. It's called an opinion, and if you don't like mine, you can get fucked

Recoup losses.... They say ignorance is bliss, is it?

He cant defend anything he says. Just another ignorant kid pretending to know stuff.

Yes, I am ignorant because I can read and put 1+1 together.

Refer to my avatar for any further concerns.

Yeah. It showed the finances of an extremely healthy company. Sorry.

[Aedeus]

Your claim is that they are lowering the price to make up for the 600k customer loss.
I just provided you with a link that proves that Blizzard itself isn't lowering the cost at all.
This is just some retail store that has an action-price which has NOTHING to do with Blizzard itself.

But sure, go ahead and flame people.. We'll miss you.

I'm flaming?

Maybe the English / Dutch language barrier is obstructing what I was trying to say.

I was merely challenging you to provide a basis for your claims. If you disagree with the direction a company is going, then do not pay for its services. Your use of language was unnecessary and serves to provide insight into your ability to have a normal discussion.

According to Blizzard? You do realize the 600k lost subs isn't made up right? Blizzard is the one who came out with that...

[Obese]

You guys realise they lost 600,000 subscribers...but their actual net worth / profits has increased?

When they reported 12 million subs, they also reported their profit...and again they reported their 11.4 million subs, and they also reported their profits - WHICH WAS MORE THAN IT WAS AT 12 MILLION.

So no, you can get this theory out of your mind that they started losing money.

They made more because of all the services they offer, pet sales/mount sales...it all adds up, chances are the 600k who quit are people who wouldn't even buy that stuff anyway...that also includes banned accounts, I'd be willing to bet a lot that most of those 600k subs were post expac leavers...the guys who buy the XPAC...level to level cap...then quit the next day.

[Amry]

Unless shown otherwise, I don't think Newegg and Blizzard have a pricing agreement; my office sells Office 2010 for USD10, that doesn't mean Microsoft is "failing".

That being said, what's wring with a company trying to increase sales? Isn't that what companies do?

[Sanctioned]

Who would have thought a business would try and up their sales which in turn ups their profit?

[Buttfear]

They really need a dirt cheap battle chest with all xpacs if they hope to improve things, cost of entry currently is just to high to attract fresh meat to a 6yr old game.

I see no "I believe" or "I think" to imply your first quote was meant to be an opinion, hence why someone was asking for a quote from Blizzard to back up what it looked like you were trying to pass for fact.

Someone provided a suitable answer for this:

Hey guys, I just checked the Steam store and you know what? Every single dev up there is sinking! I know this because there are lowered prices EVERYWHERE and I like to pretend I went to bees knees skewl.
