Blizzard's "major announcement" is but mere weeks away

I put no stock in it but http://www.computerandvideogames.com/art...?id=163207
Just a theorycrafting here. What if they bundled the subscription. Instead of $15 a month for just one. You can pay $20 or $25 a month for both.

Since you can only play one or the other during any given time frame you can afford to drop rates because you can't load both game servers at once (well some folks with 2 machines could but not most of the playing populace).

I had wondered why they wouldn't do that, myself. It works especially well for them if they actually link the authentication between them, so a bundled account is only allowed to play one or the other at any given time. They get to keep their current subscriber base, add new people who are only interested in the new game, and extract more money from those that are interested in both.
