Videogame Stocks wow gold 09zmchuan1109 reports: The Amuse Bouche street cart vendor was reigning terror on the Orcs in World of Warcraft when ICE showed up at the door. He was married to a U.S. citizen, he explained. They were applying for his green card, but the paperwork had not been turned in. The agents waited for Murat to turn off his computer, then handcuffed and arrested him. "It was completely unexpected and out of the blue," said Murat Celebi-Ariner's wife Pelin. For the last week and a half, the hip denizens of the Mission District's unlicensed food vendors have watched as one of their own crashed into a world where many of their Latino neighbors live day-to-day: the one inhabited by agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, deportation proceedings and the collateral damage of families split by unexpected departures.

Blizzard, the creator of the game, has decided to change the Chinese operator for the MMO from The9 to NetEase, a company that has promised to provide a bigger percentage of earnings as royalties. But the transfer itself was hit by delays and resulted in the game being taken offline in China for a while during the summer and now it seems that the General Administration of Press and Publication has ordered the operator to suspend the MMO, cease accepting any payment related to it and stop making new accounts. A Reuters story mentions that Yo Yongfu, the Chief Executive Officer of an Internet firm in Beijing, sees the suspension as part of a conflict between the GAAP and the Ministry of Culture, both trying to expand their power over the fast growing sector of online gaming. Yongfu said that “This is different from operating a businesses in the U.S. or Europe. For Chinese businesses expanding in China, we need to learn how to operate suitably in the environment in order to thrive and survive.” wow gold wow gold The problem is that more sinister moves might be behind the decision to suspend operation of World of Warcraft in China. Even as shares of both NetEase and Blizzard dropped, those of other online game operators like The9 and Shanda have gone up with analysts saying that if World of Warcraft cannot be played in the country, other MMOs locally developed will gain more players. wow gold wow gold Could this be the beginning of a sort of videogaming nationalism on the part of the Chinese? The potential of the online gaming market in China is huge, even if it is some time until it is fully realized. If Western MMOs, like WoW, are banned from operating in the country, local videogames will prosper, resulting in better results for the Chinese firms that operate them and easier to control content for the Communist ruling party. The problem is that what it is happening now with MMOs might happen tomorrow to any genre. It's not hard to imagine a future where Modern Warfare 4 is banned from China so that the locally developed People's Liberation Army Simulator 2 might have a bigger market share. wow gold wow power leveling Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI) shares rose Friday after reporting third-quarter results and maintaining its fourth-quarter forecast, encouraging investors who had grown worried about holiday game sales. wow gold World of Warcraft Gold The shares recently rose 37 cents, or 3.5%, to $11.24 although the stock had slumped 16% over the previous month. It remains up 25% for the year. Shares of another game publisher, Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS), advanced 77 cents, or 4.3%, to $18.93. EA reports its results after the closing bell Monday. Shares of smaller publisher THQ Inc. (THQI) rose nearly 1% to $5.18 while retailer GameStop Corp. (GME) picked up 1.7% to $24.58. Overall, stocks in the videogame group have dropped over the past month as investors have become more concerned about the industry's ability to ring up strong sales for the holiday shopping season after a sharp slump earlier in the year. "Investors remain skeptical about the continued health of the video-game industry, and Activision's recent share-price weakness reflects that skepticism," wrote Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan in a note to clients Friday. Activision is considered to hold the strongest position in the group. Next week, the company will release "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," which is widely expected to be the top-selling game title of the year. Other big titles like "DJ Hero" and "Tony Hawk: Ride" are also expected to ring up strong numbers. wow gold World of Warcraft Gold But declining sales of the company's mega-popular "Guitar Hero" franchise have made some worry that the music genre has peaked. Still, the company said its latest release, "Guitar Hero 5," was a big seller in the third quarter, which helped the company report better-than-expected sales for the period. Activision gave a conservative forecast for the current quarter, pointing out that the retail sales environment is still risky. But analysts widely believe the company's games will remain a popular draw for holiday shoppers. "For a company about to ship what is most likely going to be a gigantic hit, Activision shares do not appear to have priced success in, with the stock down roughly 15% in the past two weeks," wrote Doug Creutz of Cowen & Co. wow gold sell wow gold Creutz said he expects the company to sell 7 million units of "Modern Warfare 2" by the end of the year. Most analysts remain bullish on Activision for next year, when its Blizzard unit is expected to release a new "World of Warcraft" title as well as a sequel to the "Starcraft" franchise. Both personal computer titles offer high margins and a subscription-based revenue model. "With two major high-margin PC titles confirmed for next year--'Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty' and 'World of Warcraft: Cataclysm'--and a strong slate of titles from the Activision side of the business, we continue to believe that consensus estimates for 2010 are far too low," wrote Heath Terry of FBR Capital Markets. Sentiment on Activision remains positive, with all but one analyst rating the stock a buy. Price targets range from $11 to $18, with the median at $15.
