Critique of Is Valve’s Steam Hack as Bad as the Sony PlayStation Debacle?

The author paints a scary picture of what can happen because of the hacking, but they didn't use very much of the evidence and support that they could have. It seemed the only support they used was comparing valves hacking to the Sony hacking, they are the most similar, but the argument could have been better, especially since there was very little actual issues that arose for regular people after the Sony hack, it was mostly just a public relations nightmare for the company. valve is yet to even offer any sort of compensation for the incident as Sony had, and news has hardly gotten out about the hacking, it's hardly equivalent to the Sony hack. The author then touches on an issue at the end of the blog, about how giving up control can be more convenient but also a lot more dangerous, that was the issue he should have been writing about, it's way more important, and yet it was barely touched on.
