It does work.

Activision reported 3.072 billion dollars in revenue for 19 games released that year.

Blizzard reported 1.609 billion dollars in revenue for 2 games released that year.

The 19 Activision games do not require an account and can be sold and resold time and time again.

Blizzard does not allow resell and binds the game to your Battle.net account.

Could you imagine the money Activision would have made if it required an account for each game sold. profits would be huge.

Guess what my friend just bought Diablo 3 the other day brand new for 45 dollars and the money went to Activision Blizzard.

The reason blizzard is such a renowned and successful game developer is because they have the money and they make the money from their games, to release better and more promising products.
