Too True.
Competitive marketing is the name of the game, and the MMORPG companies seem to be overkilling it these days.
However, I do not agree with your statement of Guild Wars taking the whole pie- It may be free, but WoW's got the fanbase.
Their major customer is AOL?
Hm... Now it just seems shady.
Linking themselves with a major corporation and a major internet service seems just a bit too akward to me.
America's arcade sales are horrendous these days. It would have been stupid and suicidal to create them here, especially with the amount of mods that are in planning stages.
I would even go as far to say that the sale in Japan is suprising- arcades are a slowly dying industry all over the world, with the advent of home computing and home consoles.
Hormel is trying to once again gain popularity for it's near-dead product. I guess they thought the only way to gain new wealth was to create a stupid campaign... How sad....

It's been time. We're spending too much money for such an unreliable and bulky product. I'm suprised we haven't scrapped back in the 90's.

They should obviously know they'll lose a ton of business this way. My guess is that a TON of money was involved.
