I am not advocating that Blizzard shouldn't use this technology to reduce/eliminate their bandwidth bill. I am a huge proponent of P2P and Bit Torrent. It's all about disclosure.
All I want to happen is for Blizzard to tell me upfront...listen, this is what we are going to do and this is why. List the benefits to me.
Don't make me have to download some sleezy 'downloader' (I hate downloaders by the way, but that's another story) and feel my net connection go to the dogs without understanding why - only to find out that my upstream is being blasted through the roof.
Just tell me upfront what I am getting myself into. That's all I am saying.
- michaelcampbell 16y agoThe tone of your article and this reply seems to suggest you think Blizzard is trying to sneak this in the back door, rather than you just being surprised and overreacting to the realization. Perhaps they are, but I never got that impression. Whether I read the EULA or saw the downloader and saw immediately what it was doing or I just got lucky somewhere, I honestly thought this was common knowledge.
