The announcement sounds ambitious.
It seems like just another day, another malware scandal. The FBI claims to have found malware in some Steam games. Because who doesn’t love a good side of malware with their gaming experience? The hacker allegedly used the games to steal user data, because of course they did. This is just another example of how “security” is just a buzzword in the gaming industry.
