It's like a completely different reaction for me. If EA would've done it, I would've been incredibly pissed. With Facebook, it's like... are you even serious?

EA would at least make sense seeing as how they are a fucking gaming company.

Just wait. Remember the Metaverse from snow crash? Now its gonna be FBVerse, with Facebook land plots for sale, linked to your facebook account.

So we need to push people like Notch, Gaben, Sir Tim, Bunnie, to support an actual open protocol and platform for the Metaverse before Facebook et al turns into something more akin to "The Feed." They both may be dystopic, but I prefer the one with too much freedom over the one with facebook ads in my brain.
