Fuck no, do you have any idea how much information you give a company when you hit that button?

You give them almost full access to all your information.

Everyone's largely xenophobic attitude towards FaceBook makes me laugh quite alot, some people have legitimate reasons for it but most just seem to avoid it because it's popular and new.

Isn't this exactly the kind of reaction we derile when people behave like that towards videogames? What makes it suddenly okay to behave the same way to FaceBook and people who like/use FaceBook?

And to top it all off, this is about Diablo not ranting about FaceBook.

Am I wrong in thinking that Facebook is only a privacy risk if you give it information you want to keep private? So if you set up an account, give it your name (or a fake name, for that matter) and then "like" something, the odds of your privacy rights being grossly violated are pretty slim.

My Facebook page has my name, my date of birth (no year) and a picture of my dog. That information is freely available to anyone who asks. (Seriously, I'll send you a pic.) The real problem as I see it isn't Facebook, it's the crazy assumption that Facebook will protect your privacy. But that's a symptom of a much deeper problem with our society that this probably isn't the best place to get into. :)

As for the promo itself, I don't see a problem. It's fun. Like the BioWare "guess what game we're announcing" thing from back prior to Spike, which ended on a hugely disappointing note but was fun up to that point. This stuff shouldn't be taken so seriously. It's videogames.

It's been more than ten years since we last trekked across the lands of Sanctuary in Diablo 2
WTF? I'm doing that as we speak, pfft 10 years ago.

Good to see Blizzard might do some good for once.

Coincidence?

Not being a fanboi or bashing Blizzard here, just saying, I saw that news just a few hours back and this seems really similar ^^
