Criticism of real names on Battle.net profile
by admin on Jul.10, 2010, under Blizzard Games , Diablo 3 News , StarCraft 2 , World of Warcraft
Blizzard recently announced that in future you must give his first name and surname in plain view in the new Battle.net Account. To this end, also decided Diablo community manager Bashiok write his name into the forum.
"Micah Whipple at your service."
He probably had not thought about how quickly the community to their personal information including address, telephone number, and information would come to family members. Some pages have the information now removed, but these continue to spread the net.
It was previously on Battle.net forum strictly forbidden to publish personal data of users in any way. Now Blizzard breaks the self-imposed rule and would ascend to the social network. Alarming fact is that data from children can be published here. Although there are some features for parents to prevent this - but what parents are interested in already for the games their kids?
Initially affected only all games of the "Battle.net 2.0" (WoW, Starcraft II and Diablo III) - whether the older games to be integrated is not yet known.
What do you think about Blizzard's plans?

Probably only of interest if the inspection of the real name of it does, otherwise provides support an invasion of the John Doe and John Doe men.
But if that is possible under data protection law, then the trolls will probably leave the ship.
That parents can not care about the games their children can hardly blame Blizzard?

In WoW, they at least have the account information for verification. Many have also been created under an Acc real name.
With Facebook and co. The trolls can not stop completely.
You can blame it somewhere, because Blizzard knows that the parents can not control it. Then to implement such a feature, I think already questionable. We are talking here not of FSK18 games.

Can not believe not know, that a quality-considered, well-known professional company like Blizzard intends to introduce such constraints outrageous. The last had better do in this direction was:
Maybe Blizzard will release at least a 1024 × 768 resolution patch for D2LoD when SC2 is released and long before D3 is released.

Thank God, the "real name" but not released ... I think that's just too transparent.
