Was WoW's "tribute" to Robin Williams a money grab?

The hell it doesn't. A paywall is a paywall and it is behind one.You can't see Robin Williams tribute without going through that pay wall. The reason they were inspired to do it in the first place was because of that American consolate employee that played EvE online. EvE can be played for absolutly free.After they made that tribute it increased their user base by a considerable ammount. WoW has a pay wall and they just increased the price, if you read the forums they are considering raising the price everywhere. It absolutly does count and unless they want to offer people the ability to see that tribute without having to pay then they are exploiting his death and making money off it because just like with EvE it will give them a boost. If it didn't then they probably wouldn't be increasing the subscription cost. 

So what you are saying is they should make WoW free or not honor him at all?

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

No, I'm saying they should give a portion of profits to some of the charities Robin Williams supposrted. What's wrong with that?
