    Remember in 2011 when PSN was hacked, and it was revealed that customers names, addresses, DOBs, usernames and passwords were stored unencrypted?

    I remember. Sony will never get my credit card information.

    I was leaning more toward Nintendo doing this, since they already have NFC readers in the Switch but Sony was my second guess due to their rapid decline into fucking insanity.
