Rigole&amp;#65307; Paul Maglione&amp;#65307; Bobby Kotick&amp;#65307; Bruce Hack&amp;#65307; Frank Pearce&amp;#65307; Rob&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Pardo&amp;#65307; Jeffrey Kaplan&amp;#65307;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Dear All.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;As many of you are already aware&amp;#65292; last night we have decided to pull the plug on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;StarCraft 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;In this letter&amp;#65292; I'd like to share with you all exactly how and why this decisin was made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;We are well aware that many of you will not take this decision lightly&amp;#65292; especially&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;considering the bitter aftertaste of StarCraft Ghost&amp;#65292; and the disproportional resources&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;dedicated to the WarCraft franchise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Prior to making this decision&amp;#65292; I have personally sat down with Sales and Marketing&amp;#65292; QA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;personnel&amp;#65292; developers and artists&amp;#65292; progamers and a few community managers. None have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;provided an answer which could support a different decision. Not a single person was&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;able to justify StarCraft 2's existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;World of WarCraft is our 800 lb gorilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;No MMORPG&amp;#65292; RTS or FPS game can leave anything more than a dent in Blizzard&amp;#65281;s&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;subscriber count. Every single person that reads this letter has a family that benefits from&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;World of WarCraft's existenc and its utter dominance as the most commercially&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;successful game of all time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;The only thing that can hurt World of WarCraft's subscriber base&amp;#65292; is another Blizard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;game. We do not expect any other company in the world to be able to subtract as much as&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;300&amp;#65292;000 subscribers from WoW's numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;How much will StarCraft 2's release cost Blizzard Entertainment&amp;#65311;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;The safest estimates are around 5% of World of WarCraft's subscriber bas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;500&amp;#65292;000 users will leave World of Warcraft&amp;#65292; taking &amp;#65292;000&amp;#65292;000 worth of yearly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;subscriber fees with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Do we believe StarCraft 2 would have been successful&amp;#65311; Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;But only as long as we are looking at the small picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;My responsibilities towards Activision&amp;#65292; Vivendi&amp;#65292; shareholders and Blizzard's own&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;employees and their families&amp;#65292; prevented me from taking any other course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;My door is always open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Best regards&amp;#65292;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Michael Morhaime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;President&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#12288;&amp;#12288;Blizzard Entertainment&lt;br /&gt;</description>
