> You really don't have to run interference for Microsoft I beg your pardon? I think you need to re-acquaint yourself with the HN Guidelines: "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data." > Consider that games and accounts themselves are a high value target. Your League or WoW account alone can be worth hundreds to thousands and then some. Putting all your gaming eggs in one basket, so to speak, isn't that great. I think even you can see the flaw in your argument there. It's the accounts that are at risk and it doesn't matter which platform you're using. A determined miscreant will get control and it doesn't matter a hoot whether you were running Windows, Linux, MacOS etc.
