Buying a name can backfire, and I note that Time/Warner cable, a company fused with AOL, seems to go to great pains NOT to take on the AOL brand name as an incentive to the consumer. "Good Will" and brand recognition, and loyalty, are fickle things.
Now, when WoW starts to become a profit center, I suspect that the equation changes as regards the value of Blizzard as an asset. :D
