Blizzard Makes a Good Decision

So, for those of you not in the know, Blizzard recently decided that gamers would have to use their real names - yes, real, first and last - in order to participate in their online forums. For those gamers who are at all concerned with privacy, who maybe have jobs or girlfriends or are in the market for jobs or girlfriends, or who just love being anonymous jerks, this was a pretty big misstep on Blizzard's part. The interwebs were in an uproar. In a shockingly rational and well thought-out move, Blizzard has decided not to enforce the Real ID idea. This is a great marketing ploy - get everyone upset and talking about a potentially bad move and then you look like a hero just by not following your plan. Nice work.
