They made starcraft 2. The monetization is the exact same as there - coop commanders being paid along with episodic storyline. At the end of the day, SC2 WoL which was sold as a regular game, made less money than a mount skin in WoW. I'd rather they stick to what has worked, rather than not be able to play the game a year from now.
