So assuming that people who have paid won't see ads, I'm fine with that. Personally, I run Ad-Block Plus on both Firefox and Chrome, so I only see ads on sites I unblock anyway because I want to support them.
The Walled Village thing is silly though. Using Google login auth, like isotropic does, is one thing; fetching G+ information and real names is something else entirely.
That and it using me real name from my google account as my public in game name.
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.
*raises hand*
I actually cancelled my WoW subscription during that kerfuffle. When the kerfuffle ended with Blizzard realizing it was a really bad idea, I resubscribed, though at first I dropped to the monthly rather than six-month subscription I'd previously had. Just because I wanted to be sure.
If my real name is displayed to other users by Goko, that's another dealbreaker.
Wow, they're still publishing comments in their served code? Super professional.
It's a beta. I can forgive them that part during a beta; who knows, maybe they want us to see it.
