Comment on Blizzard to Integrate Facebook into StarCraft 2

Comments

This is quite unexpected. I honestly did not think Facebook would move beyond casual gaming.

But videogames are often about escapism: for example, would you really want your real-life profile associated with your MMO account?

Well for some people, MMOing is all ABOUT those real-life friends. I've got one who games with six or seven people in his living room, all in the same dungeon in World of Warcraft.

I'm one of them. There's a huge social impact with games like this.

That doesn't mean, however that I want Facebook involved in it.
