They are rampant with trolling, hate speech and just a general lack of civility. I think that lifting the veil and exposing peoples real identities will cause people to act in a manner more in-line with their public persona. What is everyone so afraid of? That someone will find out where you live? Get over it - that technology (phone book) has existed for decades without bringing along the collapse of civilization. It seems that everyone is worried that they might have to begin acting with the same social graces that they do in their daily life. Doesn't sound so bad to me.

Corporations need to control their message in order to control their brand. However, control is the antithesis to the open spirit of the internet. Activision believes they are big enough to get away with such tactics. They are wrong. The real reason is to squelch criticism of Activision games and Activision management.
