I know it's kind of hip all of a sudden to act like Facebook is the enemy of the people, but do you even have a reason for saying what you just said? What is it that Facebook is going to do that will interrupt your peaceful Starcraft 2 matches?
This doesn't sound any more obnoxious than Steam's community integration. I'm sure it will be less so without a chat window popping up every two seconds -- while you're playing (ala Steam). It doesn't even suggest that it will tell all your friends and that you have no control over it. You're just making that assumption.
".. will include the ability to tell your Facebook friends when you’re playing the game and what your doing in it."
Maybe Facebook integration is scary to those who don't have experience with a community integrated into their games. That is understandable. FYI that was a quote from the article.
Are you suggesting that Facebook integration of any kind, for any game whatsoever, will always end up being what you saw on Farmville? Maybe you're not even trying to make a point of discussion.

Maybe this is being too adherent to the "unix philosophy", but I like when things I use do one thing well and one thing only.
If I want to tell people I'm playing starcraft, I'll do it myself, I don't need it to be automatic.
Offering this as an optional addon would be more to my liking.

Sounds exactly like Steam.
Ok, well, I don't play Steam games, so I don't know much about this. I imagine it would annoy me too.
> "what your doing in it"
sigh

Edit: Yeah, obvious troll is obvious.
Sounds like a new law for social networking integration
