MOHAA has been in the top 10 list since it came out in late January and it has no cd key checking. I would have preferred we'd had it, but the game seems to sell fine without it.
Then again I expect Warcraft3 will sell 4x more copies than MOHAA. That's what a lot of people are missing, aside from DOOM2, Halflife, and perhaps Quake2, PC games generally don't sell anywhere near as many copies as Blizzard games do. That's partially because of the amazing quality, and partially because of the good copy protection (no online mutliplayer without buying the game).
This reminds me of the fuss people made over his wrestling act. The knee-jerkers just couldn't wrap their mind around the possibility that he was just trying to get their goat.
Studios used to try to get him to tell everybody his impromptu antics were "just a joke", much like these people rabidly insist that Bonzai Kitten nicely let everybody know it's not for real.
It's sad that War of the Worlds style radio shows are illegal these days (you have to clearly identify such fare as being fictional).

All of Blizzard's three original founders are still there.
There was signfificant turnover after Starcraft, but that's understandable after such a long hard game.
