  I mean in their defense, fuck Microsoft with a rusty nail, and this system was basically designed for exploitation.

  No, this is why systems that aren’t rigorously designed to preclude exploitation like this simply shouldn’t be released. If flaws like this exist in the system, they will be exploited. It’s not on the users if they exploited a flaw, even if you say “please don’t exploit the flaw”.

    There’s a continuum between this kind of thing and, say, ransomware attacks. I’m not sure where the line should be drawn.

  Microsoft Rewards isn’t a “nice thing”.

    Idk man I get free game pass every month and people much more patient than me have been able to get entire free consoles. I’d call that pretty nice
