Christopher S. Penn's Awaken Your Superhero: 6 tips for surviving a recession, taught by World of Warcraft zombies

  • John Buehler · 1 year ago
    There is an End...hmm...if the invasion against Blizzard Entertainment had been supported by actions of others, lets say Entertainment Arts and a horde of hired chinese players, the influx of zombies could have continued on almost indefinitely in a purposeful tactic to damage a competitors virtual world. Even something so loved by its users as WOW would have faded into history had external forces piled on creating thier own zombie hoardes. How long would it take? a month, two, a year? Remember that all war is economic at some level and that all economics can conversely be warfare. If the wrong factions come to the conclusion that the only way to get value from their money is by destroying others ability to use it, the end may be a long way out and it won't really matter at a certain point. Just thought I'd pour out some sunshine ;-)

    "Without access to markets, players needed to conserve cash"

    doesn't that mean more players quiting WoW , to save money for the real recession? :P
