The radio silence from Square Enix days later, on a vulnerability that has already leaked the privacy of thousands of players (there was a public pastebin list floating around one of the first days of this), is pretty damning in my eyes. Any other company would have made some sort of statement, rather than just quietly deleting a forum thread and leaving us to assume the worst. Not only has that data been leaked, its in a public, searchable database. That is insanity, and trying to slip this under the rug is completely unacceptable.

I am also tired, and this will probably be the tipping point that causes me to unsubscribe if it continues to go unaddressed. I refuse to give money to a corp that just doesn't care about the privacy of its users, which is what the radio silence says to me.
