Ghostcrawler Hates Me Now....
Player Versus Developer — ... WoW's Lead System Designer, suggesting that there are actually other games out there that are worth playing. I wrote a quick post about it entitled "Official Confirmation of the New WoW Business Model". I felt it was remarkable in the literal sense of the word, worth remarking upon. I didn't feel it was major breaking news, and I didn't even leave it on the top of my feed for more than four hours.
