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.

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

I know. I winced when I read it there too.
