    I don't understand why they would do such a thing. People have to be held responsible for what they say. Right?

    GOOOOOOOD. That certainly ups my respect for Blizzard, if only just a tiny shard. I need to repeat why this was an issue, as it's been driven to the ground and beyond by now. So in short: excellent, Smithers... *rubs hands together*

    I love how it took someone to point out the "No sh!t" factor to them.

    As a secondary comment Mike Morhaime went on to say that instead of people using their vary obvious Real Names we will instead adopt a policy of using your Social Insurance Number instead. That way people can still feel free to hide behind some seemingly random numbers.

    I wonder if all those who canceled their SC2 pre-orders are now re-buying.

    This pleases me.

    Common sense prevailed.

    Whats interesting is that blogger who did some internet delving on blizzard employees and their history/families. That's just creepy.

    Unfortunately Commonsense is not very common and being CEO of an organization does not make one immune from it.

    Personal and corporate delusion abound in plenty. It was a very bad call at least he has found a way to wriggle out of a very naive decision.

    So very true. I have worked for a couple of excellent CEOs and two very bad ones!

    I guess they sailed too close to the edge of the sun and got burnt.

    Hopefully others have got the message and will take note.
