Blizzard Adding Facebook Login and Facebook Live Streaming

[Wishblade]

Well... That's something at least... Not sure how to feel about it so I'll just give my standard response to new things.

Neat.

[Arrashi]

Is this cataclysm 2.0 announcement ?

[Tuesdaywastaken]

I sense a big steaming ball of rage to roll into MMO champ in 3....2.....1.....

Mildly surprised it was chosen above Twitch.

I suspect that a lot of Zuckerberg bucks were involved.

Facebook soon mandatory to play WoW :S Big brother must be watching

[MangoSpirit]

Until they force you to like and share to 50 people to get a mount or something. IDC

[EternalBany]

Pretty much everyone in the whole world. Except you, it seems

you couldnt be more wrong.
People are starting to disregard it more and more, specially since every grandma and grandpa joined in

On topic
This cant be good news, it means further down the line we will have patches that dont have in game content but upgrade features to their new facebook partnership or the likes, kind of reminds me of the selfie cam patch lol

[Radaney]

Carousel Ads? There's going to be advertisements in the games if we connect with Facebook?

No, just means Facebook have advertised Blizzard games on Facebook.

[Oholyknight]

Facebook is still a thing these days?

Huh... who knew.

considering facebook has roughly 1 billion users each day logging into the social media platform, with an average time of 50 minutes spent browsing daily, it is definitely a thing. Sorry to burst your edgy bubble. Get some friends and then you'll understand the appeal of facebook

[Adoxe]

This is why you guys never should've joked about the next content patch being Facebook integration. Great job.

[lolcats121]

how many raid tiers did we lose for this?

[snackfeat]

I can't wait to become a pro facebook live streamer.

lol

[Unholyground]

I think Twitch or Youtube integration would have been great but this is meh.

[Cæli]

Well that's clever of them. There's 10% of Earth on FB and it's very possible most of them are not into one of Blizzard games ... yet...

Sure mate! If you say so!

[Symphonic]

I think facebook integration is a great idea. Someone like me who doesn't stream at all, might actually "go live" every once in a while.

[Deleted]

This is going to be really good, lmao. Can't wait for this to happen, tbh.

Pretty much how I look at these comments. People trying to be edgy and special snowflakes that they dont use facebook

Damn, beat me to it!

Like the avatar though

To be expected. People who log into Twitch are typically gamers who don't mind logging into multiple systems to access their games. Blizzard is pushing a lot of their stuff, especially the new expansion of WoW, onto the general public (what with the movie offers and whatnot). Adding Facebook functionality cuts down a barrier between the finicky nature of the general public who may be used to accessing their games of Farmville or Candy Crush via one-button access on Facebook itself. This seems like a pretty natural progression.
