That would be awesome.

Initially friends list matchers like that were an opt-in voluntary thing, but more recently applications have been more insistent on getting FB information to gather network data.

I'd love to see that sort of an offering die off, it's not like you can't post "Hey world, really into Overwatch right now, anyone want to join up?" on your feed yourself.

My main problem with that is method that I can't guarantee that friends that play Overwatch will see my post. The timeline algorithm is too inconsistent.
