And so the things that are discussed

And so the things that are discussed in terms of D2R Items "What is the best IP to use and what we should think about it?" The team has plenty of decision-making power on that. But we also need to think through what games and what IPs the teams are enthusiastic about. What IP can be used for various types of games.

I think the fact that we have these IPs that contain these stories, time periods or any other story about games which are part of them, I consider it an asset. I don't consider that as a risk. I think that the capability as well as the desire to develop something new things is equally important, and we've demonstrated that it's possible through Diablo and we'll be proving that in the next game.

A first-person-shooter based on StarCraft is now The white whale for Blizzard. There was a report recently of a game that was an first-person shooter that was set in the StarCraft universe being cancelled, and of course, it was StarCraft Ghost. Is that idea something that you'd still like to explore?

I'm not sure, but one of the things I'd like to bring up is that there has been some recent stories that have been focusing on games we haven't taken action in, but internally, it's been reported that 50% of the games we are able to start are not completed.

So the fact that we're not moving forward with this game or another could be a sign that Blizzard is operating as usual. I'm pretty sure that in the majority of games we've begun haven't been released for the reason mentioned above the majority of people don't even recognize their names outside of Blizzard. It's not cheap D2R Ladder Items getting much attention.
