Blizzard fan site posted the winners of the stress test just now on October 18th. Why, is my question, why tell the winners now. My guess to that answer is becasue of all the people so very angry at blizzard for not posting anything for a few days, this is a way to keep the blizzard people active. Why did they waste their time trying to find the winners? Release the Open Beta!! or at least tell us something.

I was wondering about that myself.
does it really matter? they just needed more exploiters... thats all...
My theory is simple.
Bob and Joe, work at Blizz:
-Hey Joe, have you posted the Stress Test winner list yet?
-Oh fuck man, I totally forgot
-Jesus, how dumb are you, it has been almost a month since the Stress test has ended.
-Yea, yea alright, I'm gonna post it just after my Big Mac.
Y'know Bob and Joe aren't aware that "people are very angry at blizzard for not posting anything for a few days". They work on their stuff, eat BigMacs, and don't really look around the internet on what's people reaction about what's going on. There might be some other guy (let's call him Andrew) that actually has that job (stay tuned on what's the community reaction) but he might just work at some other department and don't talk to Joe and Bob often.
Yeah, the Stress Test winners all had their accounts within a week or so of the its closure. The list was just put up because Blizzard had said that they would posts the names up some time after the Stress test. I don't know why a lot of the Bnet people whined about Blizzard not posting it sooner, doesn't seem to make a difference either way. But then again they could just be in denial that they didn't win and believe that the email just got blocked by their email service (they seem to worry about that a lot )
