What sort of person 1) has the discretionary funds to buy an account like this, 2) wants one of these accounts so badly that they will pay that kind of money for it, and 3) is so stupid as to believe that it won't be ganked back by a different hacker, or even the same one again? In other words, WHO IS FUELING THIS ABSURDITY?! There has to be a demand side of this equation, and, from my chair, it looks like people who have WAY more money than sense. I know there's a lot of them in the world, but, still. I've seen several headlines recently that Sony has the console crown right now, but it seems like it wouldn't take much fear mongering by Microsoft in the right places to use this as a scare tactic against PS to try to push people back to XB. I mean, sure, this particular user "won," but you can't expect Vice to do a story about everyone who gets screwed.
