I agree 100% with Multibocks. You make it sound like Blizzard is using Battlenet as a means of entering our house so they can rape our pets and spy on our bathroom habits. I played AC for years, my cats were not violated and there is no shower scene footage of me out there anywhere. Blizzard is entering a phase where they have more than one game to focus on. Moving to Battlenet allows them to centralize everything they do, much like the Station Pass does for Sony.

I'd comment more, but the further I get into your post, the more it just appears to be random words strung together.
