    I think it would be hard to argue that World of Warcraft is certainly the most successful MMORPG of the last decade, but alas all [great] things must come to an end. Releasing an expansion this far into the life cycle of the game seems to me to be an odd decision on Blizzard's part but more so to me would be the consumer's decision to purchase it. Blizzard certainly has a long history of supporting their games long past their estimated life expectancy, (looking at you Diablo 2) however none of them are associated with a monthly price tag. In short, how much longer do you expect the continued success of world of warcraft to last? Is investing in an expansion pack this late into the life cycle of the game really a smart decision from the consumer's standpoint?

    With the recent divestment that are Tony Hawk Shred and Ride, and Shawn White Skateboarding, it seems that the only good skateboarding game is Skate, which tailors specifically to real skateboarders, which I am not. I remember when a new Tony Hawk game was something to look forward to, do you think that if Activities were to release a downloadable Tony Hawk game that was in a similar style to the original game, that i would be any fun to play? or even sell now that the series name is a joke?

    Hello my question to blizzard is more about Activision part of the company. Blizzard don't get me wrong you guys are awesome and produce some of the best games and expansions over the years but Activision except for there golden horse has not been doing so well. My question is do you think that Activsion part of the company is in trouble with all there franchises except COD failing or hitting minimal profits (cough"hawk"cough)?

    PS: Deathmatch Starcraft II vs Mass Effect 2 who do you think will win?

    Do you think the industry will get to a point when mobile gaming eg:Ipod,DS will overtake consoles like the Xbox 360 or PS3?

    While I'm into RPGs, I never got into MMORPGs. I tried WoW a couple years back but at the time I feel didn't have a good reason to pay so and so dollars per month to continue to playing it. Now, with Cataclysm coming and kept hearing good things about it, I thought I might get into WoW again. Will I find getting back into WoW be overwhelming since I'm so far behind, having not played it for years? Should I just wait for Star Wars: The Old Republic as a better alternative to get into MMO?

    since i cant get anyone elses attention im going to do this here also..i sent this to jake in an an email asking for help but i dont know if it was received ignored or what..i htink this is a very serious issue and needs the attention of the gaming community..

    i wish someone there would look deeper into the problems with fallout new vegas. i know your reviewer didnt find any game breaking glitches but lots of ppl have. theres a dlc glitch, something to do with the preorder bonuses, that corrupts all your save files, constant freezing and quest breaking bugs. these arent just isolated to a small number of players either were talking hundreds upon hundreds of ppl. if you dont believe me go over to the official forums http://forums.bethsoft.com/ind ex.php?/forum/109-fallout-new- vegas-hardware-and-software-is sues/ and also check out the user reviews at online retailers like amazon. i personally was shocked at the number of ppl having issues and im sure a lot of ppl in your industry dont realize how big the problem actually is. im telling you its a huge deal and its across all platforms too. what i want to know is how did this game get released in this condition? how did all these problems slip past the testers? did they know of these problems and just shipped the game in this horrid condition anyways? how is this an acceptable business practice? i paid upwards of 80 bucks for a game im afraid to play. what if after 100 hours in my save files corrupt? i know they will patch the game but thats besides the point. is this going to be standard practice now to release a game practically unplayable to and unsuspecting gaming public with the attitude of oh well we can always patch it later? i myself am furious and i know that i am not alone in my anger. a lot of ppl feel that we were used as unpaid beta testers. and another thing ppl are furious over is the fact they had the gall to announce dlc knowing ppl are having all these problems with the main game. thats just greedy. apparently official playstation magazine has an article about it in their current issue though i havent read it. i would really appreciate someone looking into this. i dont think this should be let go as easily as it looks like it is. i personally feel used and insulted that this game was released in the condition it was. i feel used that bethesda/obsidian knew ppl were going to be lining up to buy this game and instead of properly testing the game they released it anyway. they wont even admit the problems as big as it is. they made millions and millions of dollars selling a product that a lot of ppl cant even play and they sit in silence counting their piles of money only concerned on how to squeeze more out of us. anyways im sorry for the rant im just so frustrated with this situation i cant stand it. thank you for you time.

    Dear Feedback,

    My question is, when r you gonna do a contest for some lucky viewers to get a chance to be on Feedback with you. It would be nice for someone to be apart of these conversation instead of talking to someone who talks about how sick they are in Black Ops.

    With all three consoles now offering a system for motion control it seems as though using your entire body to play games rather than just your hands will become an an accepted part of gaming culture. Motion controls are supposed to represent an evolution in how we interact with video games. However, what it doesn't change is how the game interacts with us. The last major advancement in the feedback we get from our games was the introduction of vibration in 1997 with the N64's Rumble Pak and the DualShock controller. With Kinect Microsoft has even left out that technology, something that Sony got significant criticism for with the SixAxis. Do you feel as though any improvement in the feedback we get from we receive from our games would improve the experience as a whole? Do you think new ways for our games to interact with us should be developed and what might you think these new ways should be?

    My biggest question is, I just wanted to know if WoW is near dead? What I mean by that is I love this game, but the story dose end. I just wanted to know if all the hours im putting in are close to my last, or dose WoW still have a long road ahead?

    Dear Feedback team,

    I know many people have ask for a subscription based system for music game downloads and feel that its needed, my question is do you feel that this could be used for all types of downloads or would it be very difficult to apply, and also in another question do you feel that exclusives hurt video game sales and would be better off with a multi console release?

    When World of Warcraft's epitaph is written and the servers are taken down one last time, what do you want to be able to say about WoW? What will have been its crowning achievement? What cultural, design, or personal impact will have been the most important to you?

    With Christopher Nolan's announcement of an "Inception" video game, how do you think the future is looking for Movie-Tie-In Games? The "Avatar" game was OK, but it lacked that certain spark of ingenuity that most great games have. With a director such as Nolan taking on the project, do you think "Inception" has a chance at being a truly great movie-video games?

    Why doesn't Blizzard put WoW on the PS3? Especially since the PS3 is much more open than the 360, and they should have no problems at all porting it. Not to mention Valve recently announced that Steam would be integrated with the PS3, so it should make it easier than ever to update and patch the game.

    The Kinect has a lot of potential as far as making some new and innovative games it also has the possibility of bringing some great possibility to RTS's and certain other games. A great example of a game good game to make would be if they were to come out with a black and white 3 where you use shapes to perform certain actions(miracles) to happen.do you think that theres a possibility that could make a command and conquer or just any RTS with this new hardware? Its just too perfect to pass up.

    Dear Feedback

    Really hope you guys read this:
    With the number of rpg's out there some have started to incorporate that not only do your actions affect your character but also affects everything else in that world around you. This really brings a gamer into that world to feel like the choices he or she makes have a impact. Yet at times we as a gamers might not view it as that but instead focus more on "ok so I have to act this way to get this achievement or have to be all good or bad so I can get this ending." In wow I know more then often people skip the quest text just so that way they can get done with it so they can move on to the next quest and not pay attention to why they might be doing it in the first place or the back story taking place.

    I guess what I'm asking is this some what ruin the experience someone would normally get out of a game? By manipulating your choices you make and actions you might have done just so you can get moving on to that next quest to level up or to unlocking that next achievement and do you guys think game developers could do anything to change this?

    p.s really love the show you guys do a great job <3
