If you get the new Warcraft IV, you'll be able to pay $10 in the in-game store to purchase one of them as mini-games ,but youll only be able to play them for as long as your warcraft IV monthly subscritipnj is current.

They're not bothering with WarCraft II: Orcs and Humans, because they know war2.ru already has that base covered.

Lots of game companies do this because they know they can rope in hopeless schmucks whose dream it is to make video games.

In general, game developers have a lower median salary than their business counterparts.

They also tend to be really bad about overtime and crunch time and shit due to the nature of the business ("Assassin's Creed: Future War MUST be complete by 10/1 so we can start working on the next one due out in a year!!!")

And? I don't see your point. Most BI positions are like that.

I don't really have a "point" other than commenting on various things I have read about or been told about game industry versus other tech industries.
