Yeah, but then you also lose a lot of credibility. Who protects the consumer when the company rips off the users? Or, even better, when the players steal each others virtual (=real) money? Interesting security issues.....

Nobody will invest a lot of money into this game ..... Well, or at least should not.

So the bottom line is: if the system protects the user's privacy and asks before revealing personal information, then the average user thinks that it's broken?

I tend to agree but it also shows that there is a fundamental flaw in the design of the system. Or at least something is wrong with the priorities of the designer .... or the users?
