This shows typically "gloss-coloured" sentimentalist thinking.  Do you
even remember some   of the  not-so-good games  that   Origin wants to
forget as quickly  as  possible?  How about  "worlds of  Ultima"?  The
point is that Origin isn't this  wonderful gaming company  gone astray
like  you put it...  they've  had their ups and downs  and I sincerely
doubt that they would  sink 4 million dollars  into a project like WC3
without some guarantee  that they'll make a  profit.  And I think that
they know that that insurance has to be good  gameplay.   They CAN NOT
afford  to   lose at  this  point --  they  would inevitably go out of
business.  I too have faith that WC3 will be a good game.
