Okay, the fact that I got down voted for a completely on topic comment is what I'm talking about when I say people downvote just to disagree without commenting themselves. Matt makes no comment on the gameplay factor of WoW and I think for what it's worth, it's a great technical achievement when you look at the amount of math and raw computations required for items, enchantments, leveling, etc. I know this community isn't built around gaming or about gaming, but I thought it was certainly worth pointing out at least in SOME degree that WoW's success could have something to do with the gameplay, or at least since he decided to talk about the social aspect of the game, mention how many people came to WoW after the success of WC3.
