There's a new Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
screenshot on
IGN (thanks
Frans), showing off Splash Damage's upcoming first-person shooter. The shot
is accompanied by preliminary preorder details, saying that a preorder program
will come in the end of July, with those who participate to receive the
opportunity to register their usernames in advance along with some strategy
tips.
My point is that there is no need for mandatory player accounts or tracking with this type of game. I hope it's optional at most, but I certainly don't trust Activision or any other company to do just what's least intrusive or inconvenient to the customer because they usually don't.
I would really like to know what you think they would do with this information. Please enlighten us with what threats we will face upon release of a game with mandatory player accounts. Sure they get my fake e-mail and my IP, but to link it to me they need more info from my ISP which they wont get without going through the proper authorities, slim chance that will happen. Even if they do get all my info I'm just not paranoid and disillusional enough to really care, I guess thats the difference between us. It's still only a game company.
