A fair enough observation, but Blizzard probably gets away with this because they have a huge fanbase coming from their single-player games. Outside of a few puzzle gamers from the forum I linked to, nobody's standing in line with their credit cards in hand waiting for my game to come out. I have to hook people who've never heard of me, and *before* they decide that it's easier to just download one of the countless thousands of other indie games out there. So getting the player to the fun ASAP is an issue.
