@KayinNasaki Someone who grew up in the 80s-90s will have a radically different relationship with gaming because they matured with it as a medium (also maturing), and that does infact do something. When you keep maturing and your medium largely stops, it makes you question things a bit.

Security teams, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that executives are suddenly very interested in security controls. The bad news is, they're not interested for reasons you probably hoped when you dreamed this day might come...
