I suspect they didn't want to leech off of card game sales.


No, it's a coincidence. Blizzard is keeping Vivendi Universal Games afloat all by themselves. They have 7 million subscribers worldwide, more than all the other MMORPG games out there combined. And nearly every one of them will be buying the Burning Crusade, instantly making it the best-selling MMORPG expansion of all time.

Even if only a quarter of all WoW players pick up the card game, that's almost 2 million players.

There's not a lot of worry about the card game or the expansion doing poorly.
