Blizzard on Real ID

Blizzard tells Gamasutra they are "definitely listening to player feedback" about Real ID, and the recent revelation that this would require the use of "real names" to post to the StarCraft II forums (though they admit that any name can be registered, though it will be associated with your unique CD key). So far the outcry from fans would indicate the program is not receiving the reception they hoped for: "Real ID is a new and different concept for Blizzard gamers -- and for us as well -- and our goal is to create a social gaming service that players want to use." In any event, it doesn't sound like they are reconsidering the plan, as they explain its optional nature. "It's important to note that both enabling Real ID in game and posting on the official Blizzard forums are completely optional," the Blizzard rep said. "Players can continue to read the forums anonymously regardless of whether they choose to post in them, and their gameplay experiences will not change if they choose not to use the Real ID communication features in game."

Now, cool guy (although I think I'm the cooler, comparing our pictures, and I'm not even trying), stop being a whore calling the bitch a slut.

Wow. Clearly you are fucking awesome! Obviously I never realized that the US isn't the only country on the map! (Which everyone from every other country on Earth thinks that every American believes. Talk about ignorance.)

Wow, what if some hot chick walked down the street and some dude 3 houses over SAW her and followed her home? You can post all the non-reasons you like, but in the end you're still not giving a compelling reason for this to be the end of the world as we know it. Chicken Little away, folks!

It still all boils down to people being pissed that they can't act like immature little fucktards secure in the (false) knowledge that nobody can find out who that little fucktard really is, or people being paranoid that their real name will somehow give someone magic powers over their life. Plenty of people that dislike me know my name, where I live, where I work, where I go to school, etc. Do I sit and freak out every day because someone knows that? No. Life goes on.

First of all, I've never gave the impression that I believe that every American doesn't know about the other countries. Americans like you, however, sound so abysmally stupid and ignorant that you ask for it.

*THIS JUST IN*: APART FROM BIG HUGE AMERICA, THERE'S ALSO TINY EUROPE, etc


Really, you never gave that impression. Sure you did, bucko.


True, the hot chick can be spotted -> stalked -> raped. But that was what my example was for: I don't care that google has a 100% hit because the chance people will randomly type down exactly MY name with no particular reason is very very little. Same with the hot chick. The chance there are stalkers among us that just start stalking and raping because they see a hot chick, is very little.

The rockhard fact here, Agent Ignorante, is that there's already been comments from no-life gamers that said they'll "accidentilly meet" that girl from their guild now that they know her real name.

I can come up with so much more examples! But you know what? Why don't you come up with some examples that truly prove the BENEFITS of spraying our first and last name all over the world of online gaming?

Grazie mille.

PS: Thanks for thinking I'm awesome. I'm flattered.

I won't bother, since you obviously have trouble grasping basic concepts.
