Google + Walled Village

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but I just went to the Dominion Store and found this out:

Quote
This card (Walled Village) can only be purchased if you are logged into Goko using your Google + credentials.

Can I just say that this is just plain stupid!

It was something Google wanted. You'll have to ask them why they wanted it. It doesn't cost anything so I didn't veto it.

It might cost you (being the collective of Goko / RGG / DXV) some fans?

Probably so they can track it.

If you have a login that isn't attached to google or facebook, can you connect it temporarily to do this? Not that big of a deal, just curious.

Ridiculous.  Seriously ridiculous.  What's next, Black Market will require an eBay account?  (That would be amusing for other reasons, though.)

Scheme.  Walled Village wouldn't guarantee the Graverobber would get replaced - you'd need a pretty high Graverobber density for that.

I would like Walled Village to be renamed to "Google presents Walled Village".  The bonus is that now WV can refer exclusively to Worker's Village, and Walled Village can be GPWV.

Woah, hold up just a sec. Google has a say in how some random start-up boardgaming website implements a purchasing method for a random promo item in their store?

How bizarrely specific. Maybe we just discovered Larry & Sergei's favorite card!

I don't follow you. Are you morally opposed to Google? You spend a few seconds on Google and you're done. Personally I am on multiple Google sites every day.

I got scared away by:

FunSocketsTestApp is requesting permission to:

    View basic information about your account
    Know who you are on Google
    Perform these operations when I'm not using the application

Specifically the last point.
That and it using me real name from my google account as my public in game name.

Well you can make a new google account pretty quickly, and use that one. It will come in handy later when you want to be anonymous somewhere.

If this is true, it's definitely an issue for a lot of players. Various games (and game forums) have tried 'real ID' systems (where your real name is your public name) over the years, and it is *always* met with severe outcry/cancellations. You can find a good example of this in World of Warcraft, where a significant percentage of the player-base threatened (and actually started) to quit over it.

When you want to be anonymous, the trick is not to reuse existing accounts.

Or - I could complain it on the internet, hope that other people do the same, and maybe the company will change its behavior as a response to consumer feedback.
