The furor died down quickly, once the real names requirement was removed; a testament to the popularity of Blizzard's games, since this level of brouhaha could have broken the back of many a lesser company. A week later, Blizzard quietly posted an updated, amended FAQ about Real ID, with a few key changes made to the "real names required" portion.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/answers-to-common-community-questions-about-battlenet-real-id/] <ref> {{cite web | url = http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/answers-to-common-community-questions-about-battlenet-real-id/ | title = Updated Real ID FAQ | accessdate = 2010-08-10 | date = 2010-7-16 | archivedate = 2010-8-10}}</ref>
New installments in this issue will certainly arise, since Activision/Blizzard still undoubtedly wish to enable better communication and fan interactions and features over Battle.net -- or leverage their huge paying user base into an ad revenue juggernaut of the sort that Facebook has created. One or the other, depending on your perspective on their Real ID efforts.
