I have never heard of a Game Studios so involved with its fansites and community as Blizzard Entertainment. They invite fansites to Blizzcon, to the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals, fansite hands-on gameplay and Studio tours. The community managers send email and flash news, post twitter updates and keep in contact with fansites often year-round.

This Christmas, Blizzard sent all members of the Fansites Program a special 2009 Holiday Card. I was curious why they have sent mail to me, and when I opened the envelope, there it was. Got me excited. Below you can see me holding the holiday card that arrived to my physical mailbox. You can download the 1804×1167 version here to set as your desktop wallpaper or to print at Kinkos.
