Probably all the benefits of the Vivendi/Blizzard merger, with half the
sense.  At least in that one, even though nobody was changing operating
procedures, you could see the money path and how they benefit just from
things changing hands.  It was like a license to print money.  This one
just...makes no sense despite the probable similarities.

I mean, can you see them being lucrative anytime soon...even five years
out?  Their name is basically trashed already, and the people that are good
at digging up things like which companies are owned by IGE (the virtual
gold sellers) would have no problems finding out what they changed their
name to.

*shakes head*  It's a puzzler.
