Activision Makes E-mail Addresses of Guitar Hero III Wii Owners Public
Jan. 19Okay, Activision. First you publish a rhythm game that ships not with promised 5.1 digital audio, but without any stereo sound at all. After lots of fanboy tooth-grinding, you announce you'll be doing a corrected pressing and issuing free replacement discs to everyone just before you get slapped with a lawsuit. You start taking pre-registration info via the phone and your website.
Yet, you can't manage not to publicize the e-mail addresses of everyone who pre-registered to everyone else who pre-registered, violating your company's own Privacy Policy. Kotaku reports that's about 860 e-mail addresses in the hands of 859 people who were never meant to have them. If your e-mail got screwed, contact Activision and give them an earful at (310) 255-2000.
