Well, it seems that World of Warcraft is expanding everywhere, movies, advertisements, laptops, calendars, books, action figures, board games, trading cards. This gets me thinking, a lot of games go this way. It inspires one question to come to mind. Should games become a culture, or should they stay as games?
I disagree. Because sports are a part of culture. Music is a part of culture. Movies are a part of culture. Books are a part of culture. I don't see why video games shouldn't be a part of culture. But I believe there is a limit to it though. Like WoW at the moment is overboard, as is Halo.
T-shirts, posters, wall hangers, uh fridge magnets, bookmarks, novels, manga yeh that stuff is ok.
but board games (and crappy ones at that), laptops, linen, wallpapers (not the computer kind, the proper, inside of your house kind), steering wheel/seat covers, trading cards, action figures, we don't really need all that stuff.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Absolutely. I see no difference between having a board game of a fridge magnet. People want to have fridge magnets with the pyramids on them, so they get it. If people want to have fridge magnets with WoW in them, they get it. The products sell, so obviously there's a market for them.
And it's not anything new or revolutionary either, it's just the same old stuff we've always had but designed differently. An trading card game with Pokemon, a trading card game with WoW. Same things, different designs.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Depends on what it is. If it's just a way of showing your geekiness, as in t-shirts, action figures, posters etc., I guess it's fine (the laptop is far over the top though, so no to that).
But other forms of entertainment? No. Definite no to movies, board games, TCG's and such. I'm a bit unsure about novels, as they often give depth to the lore of the game. I'm still a bit 'meh' when I see another video game novel though. But if they stay true to the original and are well written they're good to go.

"So I like climb out the window and I fall because we’re on the third floor , but it’s cool, because I land where my arm used to be, but it’s not there so it doesn’t hurt. And I’m thinking, yeah, man, this no arm thing is kinda chill."

Ok, so you think a laptop is over the top? I can personally agree with you, but I see no reason to restrict other people from getting it if they want to. My personal opinion is to me irrelevant in how a person wants their computer to look.

I fail to see the problem with movies and additional games. The only thing you seem to have against it are the lack of lore, but that can't be it. Especially not since the upcoming Warcraft movie will expand upon already existing lore, and the other Warcraft games released after WoW also have expanded upon the Universe.

People demand, firms supply... law of supply and demand... anything that is "over the top" in your opinion is rubbish. If a person will be happier when they buy a WoW laptop that's wonderful. There is no such thing as "too much" or "too little", you either agree or you don't.

WoW laptops.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
"Cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead for you to stay,
sometimes beginnings aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye's the only way."
But people who will buy that notebook are probably deprived of intelligence. It's called propaganda.
There is nothing more to say on the subject.
