Nah, hiring someone to monitor costs money. It's all about money with them. See any Dilbert cartoon, that's Blizz incarnate. The employees know what to do, but to do it costs HUGE BUCKS.
Although they make the best games, they have the most open code. The programmers are low paid (all game coders are), the support staff is a joke, and most of them should be shoveling on a highway somewhere with their experience in computer gaming. My opinion, I could be wrong.
Either way, the Blizz guys are not that exclusive in their hiring practices. How many of them are actually rogue programmers in disguise? They all have friends, "Hey, any loopholes? We can make serious money". I know this from my friends in the defense contractor industry. You even breathe you are buddies with another programmer and they fire you and prosecute. Since this is a piece for profit business, (and I mean piece, not peace) they are NOT that exclusive. Churn em out, don't worry, we'll release a sequel.
D3 is a long time in the making, because who would want another Blizz game mastered by hackers? Well, they all are, but I mean who would play it?
