So you're saying you trust random blogs and message board posts right now? I know I certainly don't..
Any sensible person attempting to find information on a game will use a number of sources. They will learn, based on previous experience, which sites/blogs/journalists they trust, or whos opinions they tend to agree with.
If reading just one glowing review or forum post convinces you to shell out your hard-earned without further info, I have to say you deserve what you get!
In theory, sure, an IM is just for communication. MS, Yahoo, AOL, etc. seem to have other ideas, however, as anyone who's used any of the official clients recently can attest to. The amount of ads, useless features, and general bloat in all of these is incredible.
