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.
