While it may just be gamers log in details and accounts for now imagine if it were your cloud data. I think that this just points out the weaknesses of too many passwords. I have now more than 142 passwords but because of my memory I opted for a full password manager with login facilities. I now only have to remember one password, everything else is 20 digits long and random, and can be changed if necessary. I regularly change log in passwords if I have to.
