News Blizzard warns of Battle.net breach, data theft

However, you do not pay a monthly fee for your BIKE, or your laptop for that matter.

 

What's that got to do with anything?

 

you dont pay a monthly fee for diablo 3 or starcraft 2 either......given it was bnet not just wow accounts....

 

But if you did, say, rent your bike so you paid a monthly fee for it - would you expect that if you left it unsecured in your garage, and your house got broken into and it got stolen, that the guy at the bike shop would forgive you because you thought it was secure in your garage? Or you left it locked at the train station with the key in the lock?

If users get their own passwords stolen and their accounts hacked I cannot see how you would ever think its blizzards fault. Moreso I cant understand why you think they should shell out their own money to make up for your own mistakes. Sure authenticators are cheap to them, but they are a business and are thus out to make money.

 

All that DRM for nothing.
