PSN situation shows how good PC gaming is

Windows Live, Gamespy, Steam, Xfire, Direct2drive, Steam, gogcom, Bnet, Bnet 2.0 and dozens of servers for mmos and private games and other services which are connect to the games compare to one master service like PSN. No body could do such a serious damage to an open gaming platform like the PC. It has no owner and thats best thing of the platform.

yep the PC is completely safe from any kind of interent threat. its like a ****ing fortress

PC's need alot of maintenance, there are goods and bads of any gaming console or machine. Yes Steam is alot better then PSN but there are alot of games and features that someone would love more then what a PC gives them.

but PC as a whole is worse John_Read

How so?

Be careful-- the Xbox fanboys said the same thing, and now there are hackers all over Xbox Live. :?

None of those services are impenetrable. Especially not BNET accounts.

I think he means if one gets targeted there's still plenty of other services to fall back on. For example if Bnet goes down I can still play CS.

Why do people say something like this and never bother to explain?

but PC as a whole is worse John_Read

Nope - just installed 6 new updates for Windows 7 64-bit...hackers stopped in their tracks, unlike consoles.:P

PCs on the whole have anti-virus and firewalls running, I doubt consoles have anything that can compare.

>_< none of those services have ever been hacked, paypal the largest method of paying for stuff online has never been hacked and is completely secure.

Man, I am so happy that you backed that up with the most unbiased proof ever...

Beware the internet kill switch. :P

Hackers don't really matter because the admins can just ban them.

And I like the openness of pc as well.
