In reply to: Larq 's message, "Question regarding the upcoming game sign-in changes" on 17:55:05 12/05/01 Wed

They have stated that BILLING will not change.. just how you log onto the zone. Once logged on you'd access billing in the same way.

The security issues with passport revolve mainly around the fact that it isn't hard for people to hack into the accounts for MS wallet.

Regardless of whether there are security problems.. I personally resent MS making us sign up for their crap in order to access the zone and AC. It is very typically MS though, sadly.. this is the kinda influential crap they got in trouble for already, forcing you to use one of their products to access another.

In this case it is even more annoying to me because previously it was NOT necessary. There is *NO* good reason I can think of for them to require you sign up for a passport account to access this game.

Bleh. Security aside, they are sure making some asinine moves with AC lately.
