In a stupefyingly ironic turn a events this evening, it appears that the Entertainment Software Ratings Board has revealed the entire list a email addresses a people who appealed t' the ESA's rating group over Blizzard's recently proposed 'n then retracted Real ID implementation. According t' our World a Warcraft-focused sister site WoW.com, the ESRB issued a response letter t' the nearly 1,000 folks who had emailed with complaints about Blizzard's decision -- unfortunately, it seems that rather than hide everyone's email addresses, someone hit "reply all."

We've dropped the letter itself beyond the break, which, as WoW.com points out, concludes with a statement espousing the ESRB's "Privacy Online" program. Whoops! All that said, mistakes will happen from time t' time -- unlike Blizzard, though, the ESRB can't simply take this back.
