Is World of Warcraft the only depression-proof industry?

Is World of Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment’s Gem, the single depression-proof industry? Yes, because people who lose their jobs will have more time to play. Furthermore, those on unemployment won’t give up their graphics cards and flashing computer images of the Lich King. In a recent poll of WOW subscribers (who now number 11.5 MILLION), when asked what they would be willing to give up to survive difficult times, respondents said they could give up cable TV, professional sports, restaurants, vacations…. but no one would give up World of Warcraft.

They're also more satisfying, I think ;D
It will be depression-proof as long as Blizzard does not screw up, or people gets tired of it and moves on to better things (or other MMOs). Currently it seems impossible but big MMOs had fallen in the past, and Activision's CEO is a money-whore. He may pull a StarCraft 2 in the future and shatter everything in a couple of months.
