And honestly, does someone force you to stream? Does a stream of your play automatically go out live when you boot up sc2 for the first time? Im having trouble understanding how this can be a valid coherent argument against name changes. | ||

In steam you have you username which you give to your friends to add you to their friends list, ie your Real ID email address. In steam you can freely change your displayed name however many times you want for free, why can't blizzard add this? | ||

What you may not have realized is that people already do this "paid name change" on their own, via selling their SC2 account/CD and buying a new one. GMs and their friends have done it with smurf accounts that get revealed. You really think "pro" griefers and internet assholes dont do this as well? Some simply buy new CDs without even selling their old ones. So saying that it should be a paid name change makes as much sense as shitting on the carpet. exactly. This is truie too. there's more political and philosophical issues behind this behavior and whether it is allowed or not. Everything that is human behavior is serious business, even in pleasure or entertainment venues. Because that behavior corrupts or changes behavior in other venues of life. | ||

Quick to jump to personal insults, aren't you? I'm more amused that people are thinking that Blizzard is actually willing to give free name changes. | ||

I mean you need info about whether one client is streaming and whether the other client is accessing that specific stream. I'm not sure that is something the SC2 client can handle easily... | ||

But names changes, clan support, and shared replays are some pretty basic gaps in Battlenet 2.0 that make it more 0.5 then anything else. | ||

Without blizzard there wouldn't even be this awesome game Starcraft 2 so I think we should give them a break It is not the problem that they don't have the time to implement it; nor is it difficult to code. It is rather simple and already existing, but I don't know why they are not omplementing it. Maybe they just dont know how to get the most money out of it... Blizzard, do aou want no second name change so that we have to buy another copy?? wtf... | ||
