  on The FTC's Settlement With Equifax Is Such A Joke, The FTC Is Now Begging You Not To Ask For A Cash Settlement

  I think most (if not all) of the credit cards I have offer credit monitoring of some sort, so the offer of more credit monitoring is worthless. I'm guessing a lot of people have this option available and have just never used it. I'm pretty sure I was eligible for other monitoring offers from the Home Depot and Lucent breaches as well, but yeah again, I already have it.

  I think the only problem I've had with data breaches was the LinkedIn one, and only because one of those "I saw you watching porn, send me bitcoin" scammers sent me an email with the old password demanding said bitcoin. Nice try.

  on Game Developers Wary Of Steam Refund Policy Because Customers Are Using It
  It's actually the author's choice to wrap the game in Steam's DRM. Otherwise, Steam is either just a launcher or update platform, depending on what the author wants.
  
  I have a few games purchased through Steam that you can basically just copy the game directory to another machine, and it runs just fine.
