In general, don't trust numbers unless you can verify where they come from - I agree.
Also, in general, the argument defending companies like Blizzard isn't so much (anymore) that the $15/month is for bandwidth/maintenance/servers, but that it's for content. But I think the video does a good job addressing that as well. Do we get THREE expansions worth of content over a 12 month period, released as patches?
I think the $15/month thing is a tough sell... but in WOW's case, people pay for it, and even try to justify to themselves why it's a good thing (no kids, more content, etc). I mean, if I was Blizz - why WOULDN'T I take their money? I'd use all that cash to make SC2, D3, Titan, etc. It's a cow... milk it for all you can, IMHO.
