The Blizzard ToU is changing today (06/15/10)

[Kimera757]

Nothing. (Or, more to the point, there's nothing unusual about it, compared to TOUs from other video game companies.)

I think maybe the OP wanted to point out that Facebook implementation is optional, rather than the rumors that it will be forced.

Maybe I suck at legal terms, but what in this "new" ToU is worrysome?

Nothing that I can see.

I was just posting it because of the fact that it lined up with some other stuff in an interesting way.

I'm not even sure if there is any kind of epic conclusion that can be reached.

Good. Thought I was going crazy

[n00bonicPlague]

Nah you're not going crazy.

Anyway, yeah, this post started out as just a simple little "hey, this is interesting" kind of thing. However, I think it has evolved into the actual discovery of something, though I'm still not for sure. My current speculation is that this is evidence for the facebook messages implying the initialization of the facebook integration. I guess we'll know today, won't we

Please keep discussion on topic. Those with deleted posts, consider this a warning. Next post with spam gets an infraction.

Jeez, Dauntless. Way to slam the DELhammer... Just because the post didn't get recieved well at the beginning, but then got put back on track mostly by noob himself, silencebank and me, doesn't mean you have to delete every humorous post in it.

To inform you, noob mentioning he had a sunburn, and me after that saying we should pat eachother's nerdy shoulders without giving thought to his sunburn, made me laugh quite a while (and actually for a very long while ) when he posted that Fffffffff vid. Now you've burned up (sorry for bad pun) the little optimism that was left in the thread.

Anyhoo, to try to keep this post on track...
If this whole ToU change isn't that important... Why the heck does Blizzard make so much out of it, if the FB notices about "Joining The Dominion", do indeed have something to do with the ToU changes?

Why would they do this whole "Joining up" thing? It's not that the PR on SCII up until now has focused that much, if any on Arcturus Mengsk and the Dominion.

I take a long shot guess, that it's a semi-subliminal message trying to get people to create their B.net accounts now, that the ToU, that is going to be valid for when SCII ships, has been activated.

Whaddaya think? What could it be this very odd posting of early alpha screenshots depicting The Dominion is all about?

[n00bonicPlague]

That could very well be it. Perhaps they are warming us up for the part of Raynor. I imagine he gets exposed to all the propaganda constantly and probably relives the shame of having once listened to and acted upon that propaganda himself.

Well, it was off-topic, so I thought "what the hey~, I'll delete that too..".
I didn't mean to spoil your fun, but I thought it was derailing the thread. I'll pay closer mind next time =)

lol I just tried to go into my b.net account, but battle.net is down too. Ya, I think they have a bug with the new ToUs. I click on it and then go back, hit refresh, its still there and says 'read me'.

Anyways, I think blizzard is going to be going more into Facebook. Which makes since because it is a very popular site. This change in the ToU just shows they have added more onto the Facebook part in the adding of friends. I'm starting wonder if they made it so you can update Facebook in SC2. O.O
