Actually if you knew anything you'd know this has actually happened a lot to itunes google ect.. try looking up all the time itunes has been hacked.You are lying through your ars if you expect anyone to believe that nonsense. I doubt you've been buying digital for over a decade. 5-8 tops and I know in that time you've experienced that kind of problem especially all the times PSN or XBL or even steam servers have been down. So you are just plain being dishonest and it's not a good look on you. You can lie to yourself all you want but don't piss on my shoes and tell me its raining because i don't buy it and you should know better than to expect anyone to believe that level of BS.

Dude...calm down for one. You being vulgar and rude isn't helping your case.

Second, I have been purchasing digital content on places like Steam and iTunes since they were released. I purchased games for my friends on Steam in 2004 that are still there.

Third, yes, things get hacked. People generally don't lose content due to hacks. Link me one instance where a person's account gets all its games removed due to a company being hacked. Credit card info? Sure. email addresses? Yeah. Most hackers don't care about what games are linked to an account, and even if they did, it would be easy to recover the content.

I'm perfectly calm and I assure you I am not being rude or vulger, I am being honest there is a distinction. What's rude is lying to my face and treating me like I'm an idiot. 2004 is not "over a decade" it is just under a decade. Thanks for finally being honest and proving me right. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Support/ct-p/10023 check around 2011 and early 2012. Lots of instances. http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/default.aspx Check around 2009-2010 I believe that's when the peak was it happened a lot. https://support.steampowered.com/ check any time steam accounts get hijacked all the time. Yeah it would be possible to recover, that is if the data isnn't lost forever like it was with ME DLC and it would require a lot of hassle. Something you wilfully ignore is the fact is that we have consumer rights that protect us from having to deal with that hassle and trouble. Rights that are lost with digital only.
