Because we got Facef*ck instead of Chat Channels, Clans, Leagues, and some new cool unique features. | ||

they rightfully deserved this to happen... they didnt put any effort on bnet social features and they should have built something and not rely on others to make the job for them. this is Ironic to say the least. | ||

That's not gone, that's part of RealID and you can still add people as RealID via their email. The specific thing lost is that you could find out if anyone on your facebook friends list played sc2 and add them as RealID friends from within the game. | ||

Do people ever stop to consider the fact that comparing "Facef*ck* to chat channels, clans, leagues, and some new cool unique features involve enormously different amounts of manpower, and coding? Especially when one already has a lot of code pre-written? It's like comparing cout<<"hello world"; to writing MS Windows. + Show Spoiler + Yes, I'm exaggerating, but the principle is pretty similar. | ||

Yeah. I doubt FB integration took that much time at all, considering Facebook already had the code for third party games to use already done (might be as simple as copying and pasting in certain cases; the only thing else needed is probably to make it work with battle.net 2.0's friend list which would probably be really simple, the UI, and things like that which probably wouldn't take that much time). | ||

I'll bet the hardest part was configuring their internal network to allow the data to pass back and forth between Blizzard and Facebook. | ||

The actual code for reading the list of facebook friends' emails and comparing it to Battle.net's database (not the transfer of it, but what is necessary to read it) would probably be pretty trivial. | ||

Now lets move on to something more important, like LAN, or replays with friends, or real channels that make you feel like you're actually in a room with other people, or better game lists without random arcade bs that nobody cares about and is confusing as hell, or a more simple interface without having to click through all over the place just to do what I want. | ||
