This is why whenever a browsers asks me if I want to save my password I alway click no. I have played flightsim for a while. But luckily never bought any addons for it.

I have always hated that Chrome and other browsers store your website passwords completely unprotected and viewable to any one who goes into the setting of that browser. Now I hear this.
I am glad I store any sensitive passwords and accounts in a password manager. Even though I don't use pirated software, I had when I was younger and had no way to afford some applications that I needed.
I think this is complete over stepping and something needs to be done NOW! Just like with the investigation of Net Neutrality. This shit is getting crazy. We shouldnt have to worry about this kind of thing.

If you've set a master password the passwords are stored encrypted. At least Firefox handles that quite well.

Disturbing the amount of lengths these companies are going. And for what? The more you piss off and challenge these kinds of communities the more effort they will put into cracking digital products and releasing it that are produced by that company.

We just got wait for some politician kid to be effect by this that cross over into national security. Then there will be heads to roll over. Till then I doubt much will happen it will be business as usual.

you can not trust these companies anymore, if you hold a lot of crypto is so risky.

Im looking forward buying a second laptop just for business/crypto. Thank you for announcing us!

This is why you should use a hardware wallet.

Still not perfect, but in 98% of the cases, it should be bulletproof.

This is pretty shocking to say the least that this publisher thinks if people steal from them that they can steal from the people and it's right. Some companies put rfid tags on their products so that they can trace you back to your house and market to your area. I think that's a total violation of privacy as well but unless people stand up for this sort of thing its going to continue.

You are abaolutely right, they should not steal passwords from users who don't pay for their product. After all, their product is just a game and in exchange for that, they could be stealing much more important data...

I find it rather amusing, that they think their method to test, whether or not their software is pirated on a certain machine is so very fail-proof, that they only hit pirates ...
In that regard, I really am on board with all that see this as an illegal move.

So, when someone shoplifts. The store owner can just go to the shoplifters house and copy all the keys.
Interesting fact, I didn't know that part of the law.
