Subject: Bungie.net now supports OpenID?

Went to buy the second chapter for Crimson on Chrome (by the way, it's actually a lot of fun), and got a popup asking me to sign in to Bungie.net with my Google account. Just to be sure it worked, I checked it and there it was.

So it looks like we might be using OpenID in the future for logins given that the functionality seems to exist.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

This does seem possible, and it is a change that I would be okay with as I already do a lot of my online-stuff through Google.

As Steam is an OpenID provider, could this hint towards a possible connection with Bungie's next game? As in, laying the groundwork, for example, so that Bungie's next title would be available for PC as well on the Steam platform (and linked to Bungie.net so that stats could be tracked in a central area and compared to stats from other platforms)?

I hadn't given it much thought when I downloaded Steam Pirates as I thought it was just a one-time deal with a Chrome App, but I see that it could possibly be a replacement to the WLID sign in here, although this is in no way positive evidence that that will happen.

BY GOD, THIS IS FANTASTIC

EDIT: Sorry, how do I do this?

I would rather keep them separated.

Hooray!

What a welcome alternative to WLID. Hopefully we'll be able to migrate our existing profiles to that new system... If so I'd drop my WLID in a second.

I still think Bungie should make their OWN log-in thing.

Same here. It'll be great.

I know it is true that we can use it in this situation, but what I am saying is that I hope it is true that this will be the future on longing in to bungie.net rather than WLID.

Ever since I found out that Myspace uses OpenID I've felt a little icky for owning one. (several, actually)

So I believe it's stat-related only. It's not signing into Facebook to keep stats like the iOS versions, so perhaps it's an alternative to using your Facebook account to keep stats.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

This is cool. Hopefully this means that we will be able to sign in to Bungie.net using a variety of different logins, maybe even multiple for the same account.

Google invades everything!

Still nice. I wonder if we'll still have the option of using this, WLID, or another form in the future. Choice is nice.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Fix'd that for you.
