You may want to pay a small amount of attention to Warlords of Draenor. I'm sure at some level there will still be a grind akin to your description, but one of the more interesting changes they're making is not allowing flying in the new zones, and basically turning "raid finder" raids into the step-up Heroics.
I came back after two years and I'm definitely interested to see what happens next. It looks like the training wheels are off and they're going back to the basics.
Going onto someone's Facebook page and typing "I endorse this person and believe in what they represent" would have been enough to fall under free speech protection AND would have been grounds for termination... while clicking "like" does NOT fall under free speech protection, and is still grounds for termination.
Actually, I believe they were alluding to the prices of games on the horizon; this is the rumored prices of games, brand-new, for the consoles currently being developed.
You know. The fully-digital game distro consoles. Where everyone no longer has the ability to resell. And don't physically own anything they purchase.
Yeah. Those games. Because $80 for that isn't the privilege we deserve... but the privilege we need.
This is why we should never, -ever- let people who don't play games make decisions about games. Especially "experts".
People who want portable gaming have a PSP. People who want to play games on their phones have iPhones and Droids and any number of other smartphones. They are two separate markets with two different demographics. Leave them alone.

What do you think the malicious code jockeys would be targeting if, instead of Windows, Linux were king of the mountain?

The path is clear.
Boycott "Like" button. Shorthand notes are next.
...That being the needless pagination of the source article. Three paragraphs, next page?
Nah. I'm cool.

"Shit. I dropped the battery, hon."
"Where did it fall?"
"I...DON'T...KNOW!"

Am I the only person surprised to see Yahoo that high up on the list?
