Step 1: Make stuff up.

Step 2: Quote vague sources

Step 3: Reap the whirlwind.

A forum site, cum blog, which I will refuse to name or link (but its name starts with an "F" and ends with a "13") posted a story a day or so ago in which they claimed to have seen an "insider" presentation given by Vivendi execs on Wall St. Vivendi, is the company which currently owns Blizzard, and the execs (allegedly) claimed that soon, all of Blizzard's IPs would be MMOs.

Meaning, World of Starcraft, etc.

Hilarity ensued.

That's the full presentation, it's not made up & it's not a vague source. I'd suggest you do some more research in future.

Well, Pete, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

If we end up seeing a Starcraft MMO sometime down the line, I'll send you a t-shirt or something, for being such a sport.

Cheers,

Thanks, I'll hold you to that.
