    There will inevitably be some YouTube video that explains how to do all of this, and it will be followed without question by thousands of 12 year olds who don’t understand the security implications. They just want to play the new shiny game, and their parents told them they’d only buy the game if they got all A’s on their report card. So now their computer is orders of magnitude less secure (and likely running some mining/botnet in the background) because they wanted the game for free. This is just going to be the current generation’s version of “accidentally nuked the family computer with LimeWire downloads.”
