Talking about World of Warcraft annual pass (which comes with a free copy of Diablo 3), the CFO of Activision Blizzard, Thomas Tipple said: "Most of the community and the general market Diablo 3 Gold is about to cost real money, more opportunities also generate income and have a long tail behind the Diablo. "

"The general acceptance of players to another type of business model has increased significantly over time. We are really benchmarks over the relevant courses outside micro-transaction based games, these trends have been very encouraging, "said Tipple. But for us, we'll see what happens when we enter the market. If we did not know there was a great opportunity, we would not do it. "

This directly contradicts what Blizzard told us. Last April, we asked Blizzard if the designer is still initiate an auction house with real money if Blizzard can not make money on each sale. "Absolutely," he replied. Thomas's focus on the margins of the auction house appears to contradict Jay.

At least co-founder of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime, has the last word to the call of investors. And it was reassuring words, focusing again on the gaming experience rather than hard cash.

"Let me add this. If you look at Diablo 2, Diablo, and even bahaviors player 1, there was a need for exchange of objects between the players. We have found that many of our players were exchanged for goods or services on third party sites. The main reason why we [the auctioneer] is to provide a secure and stable environment in which we believe that to make a better game. "
