Not only that but im pretty sure that those persons that "made the company" are gone now or atleast most of them and im PRETTY darn sure they got a big chunk of money when they left. Especially those that actually was owners/founders and had a stake in the company of old.

Yes actually i saw an interview witht hose "geeks" and they said that Blizzard of today is a whole different beast. If they wanted to continue to do stuff the way they wanted then they shouldnt have sold their stocks in the company. But i guess they wanted to cash out their work and live the good life.
