   This article feels like it was written by a high school student grepping random articles to form something coherent or an LLM/AI (but I repeat myself).

   VPNs are not a thing of yesterday. This technology was first used in the mid-90s when one of the Microsoft employees came up with PPTP

   They don't even spell out "Virtual Private Network" .. and never were VPNs intended for privacy. They were intended for people to connect to the corporate network when they were offsite .. and PPTP was predated by IPSec.

     article confuses security with privacy. only somewhat valid point is vpns but majority of games aren't p2p anymore anyways. the threat for gamers personal information aren't 1337hackerman but corporate data harvesting and surveillance. the only way to have privacy with todays games or any proprietary software is to limit file and block internet access.
