Someone robs you of your most precious game-related item. What is it?
Imagine the worst case scenario. Maybe it's an entire library of games ripped from your home and/or bag, maybe it's your online profile, maybe it's a keychain or a figurine that you feel naked without. Whatever your most prized game-related item, someone got to it and stole it. Not lost, stolen.
(For the purposes of this conversation you cannot get it back, or confront the person who took it.)
What is it for you, and why is it so devastating? Besides the obvious feeling of violation.
For me: I would be crushed to lose my PS3 account to identity theft. It's got almost no value compared to my physical games collection, nor is it my most robust profile, but over time I've gotten meticulous about it in a way that, to lose CONTROL of it would be more damaging to my hobby than anything else. I don't even know why. I could handle my Xbox account. I can handle hacked email. I can get over coming home to a jimmied door and finding all my belongings stolen, all consoles and software and everything. But losing access to my actual PS3 account would end the hobby, right there. It's almost an obsessive-compulsive fear. I would not recover!
