Blizzard Entertainment announced today that it will integrate Facebook into its online gaming service Battle.net. That means that players of the upcoming long-awaited StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty game will include the ability to tell your Facebook friends when you’re playing the game and what your doing in it.

The announcement shows how the social network is infiltrating the deepest parts of the hardcore game industry, which has been slow to adapt to the phenomenon of social gaming. But the integration shouldn’t be that hard for Blizzard to implement and it could make it a lot easier for gamers to find their friends and keep up with them in the game

Wicked.
