In this case I read "making adjustments via hotfix" as "giving them a good whack with the nerf stick."

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

An extra $1 million USD will be paid for the transfer of staff who work on WoW.
Rumours over who the unnamed company is all point to one place; NetEase. NetEase already works with Blizzard, last August it was announced that the company was to take over the operation of other Blizzard games in China including Warcraft III and Starcraft II.
