The database in question contained information including user names, encrypted passwords, dates of birth, email addresses, billing addresses, and the first and last four digits and expiration dates of customer credit cards."

I'm getting closer and closer to sticking to console games only and ruling out any online games.

What does console have to do with whether a game is online or not?

What does it matter? My statement stands, no matter the reason.
I don't play anything on the PC except for online games. If I don't play online games, then I don't play on the PC.
edit: We only have an xbox and wii and we dont go online for any of it. We treat them as traditional consoles. We've never seen or had the need to get the extra fluff/DLC after already paying for a game once.

Pretty soon, even console games will probably require an online connection. The way things are going.

Funny thing is that they dont feel your information has been comprimised, want you to log back in and change your password, and when you subscribe theyll give you something for free.
Personally, I think it is time we started sueing these dumb A-- companies that do not delete our information when we are no longer subscribers.

Indeed. Keep your e-mail, login and password, but everything else should go.

They're not mutually exclusive - we'll be playing family games over Christmas, and my children are either side of 30.
Of course, I'll also be keen to put in a bit of time on SWTOR (which my son is planning on getting as well), and if I'm lucky I'll also have Skyrim once I've opened my presents!

Was going to update my password for my account, but apparently if your new password even has like 4 characters the same as your old one they won't allow it.
I think I'm just going to let that account rot.

Like hell, I made mine damn near exactly the same just because all I intended on doing was canceling the account before my free month was up. By 'damn near exactly the same' I mean I added a period at the end of it. lol

Just changed my password and removed my CC info/ended my sub.
I doubt i'll be resubscribing due to this being the second time they allowed something like this to happen. The first time was when the game was launched and accounts were being compromised left and right and a customer pointed out the flaw/fix to them. /sigh.

My rift account was hacked about 3 or 4 months ago, so I moved it over to my GMail account and tossed in cell phone verification so it never gets hacked again. Â Then this happens. Â Comical.Anyways, I had not logged into the game since March or so and had no intention of logging in again so whatever.

How strange, mine is literally the exact same password as before just with a period at the end. Perhaps your account was confirmed to be compromised so your requirements were stricter?
