nope sry, we didn't lie. i, for one, will just go back to eve-online and wait a year or two until SC2 and all two expansions cost <50€ in a bundle. that's how bad this is. -.-

Actually, you won't. Because it isn't that big of a deal.

There's only a matter of time until there's no privacy left. And when that happens, all the people that posted about how people who are really unhappy and don't care, and etc. will either continue to not care, or become extremely agitated. Some of the posts in this thread that claim people are lying about how they feel or if they would purchase this game in the current condition, should really take a strong close look at what your options are for social networking inside and out of this game, and re-examine their true opinion. Instead of just saying, 'it doesn't matter who cares,'

Luckily there are some measures people can take while giving out friend requests and facebook with the list in the current condition b.net 2.0 is providing as an environment, but there isn't as much as there should be.

Aside from the fact that Facebook really shouldn't be in the prime equation for networking inside of a game from the start.

I am tired of seeing this community acting like spoiled stepchildren. What a manipulative, bratty notion - "boycotting blizz". Retarded. This thread needs to be closed and the mods need to put a ban on incessant bitching.

Not that excited for release, and I can't get any irl friends to play sc2 with me so I don't want to ladder with nameless strangers on bnet 2.0

voted not buying.. I'll decide after it comes out if I want to buy it but I'm not going to preorder it or anything

Alot of socialising going on at the streamers chat; so thats where I get my fill. I will buy (have already) the game either way, but im sure they will have chatlobbys implemented at releast. Anything else would be fail of epic proportions.

I'd buy it, add my "close" friends and just play the ladder... It wouldn't bother me a bit in the way I'm going to play the game, but I can understand people complaining atm :/

As soon as Activision bought Blizzard I knew this was going to happen. Activision is known for milking every dime out of the consumer that they can and compromising game quality to do so. Take a look at MW2 ($15 map packs, no dedicated servers for PC, etc).

It's the same thing with no lan. Most people will threaten to not buy because of it, but they will wind up purchasing the game at launch regardless.

Then they will threaten to not buy the expansions and the cycle will continue.

since activison accquired blizzard , they have been acting like idiots . Trying to milk the games in every possible way.

If you play world of warcraft you can see some awesome casual changes for the next expansion and selling things like mount in-game,wont be long before they start to sell gear and now the remote AH for 2-3$ a month.

I wont be surprised if blizzard removes the identifier and just add the email/facebook feature so this way people would make use of it hence they earn more and more but ignoring the most important aspect of the game.

I will buy the game regardless of this but i am still against this

I don't like the whole social integration deal, but again, I want to enjoy sc2 and will probably never use the feature so I'm buying the game. I do consider they are focusing on less important things or at least, things that I expected to see way before facebook are still missing.

Whatever the case, 27% people considering boycotting and another 45% complaining is A LOT. Even if nobody ends up boycotting (as I do believe only about 1/10 of those who voted it will, at max), this is the kind of thing that makes the company gradatively lose its points amongst fans.

If channels have been announced I'm good with it, though.

Indeed.

Kotick responded not by addressing any of the games by name, but by talking about Activision’s publishing philosophy. The games Activision Blizzard didn't pick up, he said, "don't have the potential to be exploited every year on every platform with clear sequel potential and have the potential to become $100 million franchises. … I think, generally, our strategy has been to focus… on the products that have those attributes and characteristics, the products that we know [that] if we release them today, we'll be working on them 10 years from now."

Nobody answered me yet, the fuck can somebody do with your name that's so perverse? We know most of the well known players' names anyway, did we put a spell on them or something?

There you have it, we know their names OHNOEZ!!!! What's wrong with people knowing yours? What they can do anyway? Spread bad publicity on their internet blogs? -_-'
This Privacy complaint is ridiculous it's like knowing your name allows people to see your cc number...

Now sure, the system's sucking at the moment and we need lots of fixes but seriously, I don't get the whole "Privacy" thing.

Not everyone who plays sc1 is a college or high school kid. A lot of professionals play too and don't want to reveal information. And yes even when I was in college I wouldn't want every single person on my friends list to know my real name... because they also in passing know about your job where you live usually etc. Spiteful people can do very bad things when they know your info.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

I'd like to say that people who say they'd boycott most likely wouldn't in practice. =)

well I mean basically now if u ever want to apply for at tournament you'll never be known as your name, everyone will have access to your email address and real name if the sign ups are made public, I.E. in gosucoaching you gotta list your name on the website to be signed up, now which will seem to be your email address which some troll who may have beef with you can now go ahead and spam your email non stop if they really want to lol

If spammers really wanted your email they'd probably have via other methods rather than a starcraft 2 tourny.
