Wal-mart screwed me on my pre-order twice. I could have gone to the store to wait in line and *maybe* get a CE, but I would rather not have it than wait in line for hours on the slim chance that they would not be sold. I would rather risk not ever getting one than buy it from those bastards.
I pre-ordered the CE from wal-mart a long time ago and they canceled my order, claiming I did not have adequate funds (total bullshit). I physically went to the bank and they said I had enough money and the order would go through but it never did. I ordered another one a few days ago and they still havent billed my credit card or sent any confirmation email. I hate wal-mart. I think they are just going to fuck me over again. It's all a big joke but there is nowhere else I can get a CE. They are holding my game hostage!!!
I just find it really aggravating every time some business or organization takes that sort of 'next invasive step.' Inch by inch every single aspect of our lives is being invaded by someone or something and used for gathering statistics. I guess it's sort of like all the people who freaked out when the social security system was invented. "OMG everyone is going to have a number!" Yes, we might have a choice, but before there was no choice there to make. That is, you didn't have to opt out of all kinds of legal agreements every time you did anything.
I think all of the things they monitor are completely justified to ensure a safe/pleasant gaming environment for everyone. In-game chat is not the place to be discussing highly private topics, so they're not wrong for monitoring that.
Blizzard servers don't crash.
They just undergo emergency maintenance.
You're already dead!
I think the vast majority of it is unjustified.

I also have to spend a lot of time telling myself I am the only sane person left on earth otherwise I will suffer a complete mental breakdown.
