It’s time for our second round-up! This time, I’m rounding up the mass of reactions to the WoW Annual Pass Offer – there’s some really interesting commentary in here.
- Nils is engaging in (genuinely funny) parody
- Nils also has some more serious comment on the obscure payment model
- Hugh at MMO Melting Pot (sounds familiar
) “ thought there might be a dark secret behind the offer “ - Spinks thinks that the offer is pure genius (also comments on Challenge Dungeons)
- GTFootf says it all with their title: Blizzard Grasps At Subscribers
- As does Professor Beej: On Devaluing Intellectual Property
- Tobold does the math and concludes this offer is essentially WoW for $8 per month
- Rohan of Blessing of Kings: “ It is a preemptive strike at Diablo III itself “

It’s not a strike against Diablo 3, it is a strike against the retailers and distributers who would have sold copies of Diablo 3 to people who instead get it free, by paying a Wow sub directly to Blizzard.
