"Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian stressed that only 10 per cent of total revenues came from China. With the NetEase contract paying $30-40million more than its predecessor, any losses would, he said, be “more than offset."

If China takes up roughtly half the subscribers and only account for 10% of the revenues Blizzard will be able to run on those $30-40 million extra for 3-4 months. ^^

I wonder what their business plan looks like in China, seems pretty solid if they're ringing in a hundred million dollars a year from licensing + whatever scrabs they get off the player fees. :p
