Gaming BLIZZARD Forces Public Nudity - Customers Plan to Boycott BLIZZARD's Forum

[SerraAvenger]

"The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, their real-life first and last name -- with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside it. These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. Certain classic forums, including the classic Battle.net forums, will remain unchanged. " --Vaneras

EDIT
TL;DR:

When you post in Blizzard's forums, your real name and forename are revealed to everyone.

Wonderful, I wonder how many annoying little kids will be killed before they realize that this is a bad idea^^ I for one is the only person with my name in the entire world so this makes it really easy to find me:nuts:
