Whoa now. Jumping straight to malware payloads is pretty extreme. Has he done such a thing before, or are you just pulling it out of your ass to support your argument?
Alright, after checking Polygon, GamesRadar, and IGN articles, there are mentions of DRM but not the malware payloads (I guess the original article I looked at might have conflated this guy with someone else). I'll retract that part of the statement.
Bit late but I wanted to thank you for following up. Sorry if I came off as hostile, reading that back after the fact was more harsh than I meant it to be.
I don't mind - clarification requests are something I'm always glad to answer :)
It's a bit of telephone, I got that segment from an article discussing the topic. Let me see if I can locate it.
