OMG you just don't get it do you?!!? I just don't want my personal info available on the internet, EVER! You say its just the name, then another gaming company releases just the addres then another releases just your gender, then its just you sexual orientation then its just.... see the point?! | ||

You happily dump all your private information to public sites like Facebook, and then whine that someone is able to find that info using your name? Believe it or not, there's a large portion of the population that does in fact not have a facebook account. | ||

Remember wen internet providers wanted to associate individuals to illegal downloads? You are on actual crack right? You think that making people stand by posts on a forum with their real name is anything like associating specific people to illegal downloads? Really...? This is a huge shitstorm in a teacup. If you are too scared to stand by something you say with your real name (not exactly a unique identifier) then I suggest that what you wanted to post was useless flamebait or similar. Man up. | ||

I'd just point out that the EU directive on data protection has a bunch of provisions that may or may not apply to what blizzard is doing. So I would not think it far fetched that the EU parliament might end up discussing this should there be enough public concern. | ||

Yes, because anonymity is a privilege, not a right... The fact that you can contact a journalist *anonymously* when you want to raise a concern is just a privilege? Sites like wikileaks not revealing their sources should then not be commended? O_o There are a lot of things that are "not a big deal" in this world, a regular Joe's privacy is not one of these things, no matter how insignificant you people on your high horses seem to think it is. | ||

“We are subject to risks associated with the collaborative online features in our games, such as World of Warcraft’s online chat feature, which allows consumers to post narrative comment, in real time, that is visible to other players. Despite our efforts to restrict inappropriate consumer content, from time to time objectionable and offensive consumer content may be posted to a World of Warcraft gaming site or the sites of other games or game services, such as Battle.net, with online chat features or game forums which allow consumers to post comments. We may be subject to lawsuits, governmental regulation or restrictions, and consumer backlash (including decreased sales and harmed reputation), as a result of consumers posting offensive content, any of which could harm our operating results.” Credit where due, Hadraziel posted this quote back when we were discussing chat channels here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=128014¤tpage=89#1767 I think we now know why they were so reluctant with chat rooms, and now want to put everyone's real name on posts. | ||

Depending on how women in general react to that kind of idiocy I would suggest this problem alone might be enough to sink the idea - especially if the games industry is serious on not looking like a sausage party. | ||
