Spike surprised me this year. I thought it was going to be painful to watch like the 2011 one but it seems they really learnt from some criticism. Almost everything had something to do with video games now!
My answer is NO. The free trial was enough to convince me not to do it.
Netflix launched in Finland recently, and they treat me like absolute trash for daring not to connect it to Facebook. Every time I visit the Netflix page I get a popup telling me to connect to Facebook and if that wasn't enough, one of the movie rows is completely greyed out with a Facebook window on top. I don't want to connect to god damn Facebook, stop asking.

That is the Netflix experience outside US if you don't want to spam your FB friends with every movie you watch. Here's the greyed out movie row too, just in case you didn't see the pop up or something: http://i.imgur.com/Bogw7.jpg
An extremely strong no for Windows 8. The people in charge in Microsoft must have gone completely insane. They're really thinking that desktop PCs will die and be replaced with touch screen computers.
@haffy: Poker is about gambling and possibly winning money so it makes sense to require ID in some cases. Facebook is just a free social networking website.
Some games, like Shadows of the Damned, really need a cutscene skip option. Sometimes the game puts a save point just before a small 10 second cutscene followed by a tough part. Then you get to hear the same dialogue over and over again...
@Chroma_Auron: That's also how I see it. This isn't just Zynga creating a game of the same genre with similar gameplay, it's EXACTLY THE SAME GAME with slightly different graphics that still look very similar to the original product.
