Gog have my real name, my paypal, my email, my IP adress, whatever credit card information they store in their receipts. Other than maybe straight-up posting my name, adress and phone number on the forum, I don't know how I could have served my head on a silver platter to them any more. Oh yeah, and I put a couple of thousand bucks into this account (which I'd like to keep, even if I HAD downloaded all the offline installers, because it turned out that - whoops! - 1500 games eat up a LOT of space on a hard drive - too much than I'm willing to sacrifice at the moment). And I've been in touch with support on numerous occasions about all sorts of different issues during the past few years (one of these was to help gog improve their download speeds in Mainland China - I barely got 100kb/s before, we're up to multiple MB/s now. No need to thank me!)
chandra is probably aware of all this, which is why she kept the "The situation in question is indeed very strange and we’ll contact fronzelneekburm directly to discuss details" backdoor open.
And probably lots of other reasons I can't be bothered to imagine.
Again: That is what you claim. I can't proof or disproof that.
Chandra and her co-workers etc. have the ungrateful job to try and sift through the mess you created by making a "fearmongering" post like that. It is somewhat similar to "public person": Someone claims that "public person" did something, but instead of going to the proper authorities, they talk to the press. And regardless of the outcome of this, whenever that "public person" gets mentioned, most/many people automatically go "remember when...". It sticks, even if it was a lie.
edit:
On the other hand we haven't identified any security issues in our infrastructure, or any other instances of such issues, so we wanted to let everyone concerned know, that your accounts are safe.
Of course there is also the possibility, that you and "Xiaozhuzi" are in fact two different people. I remember when, a few years back here in Germany, a very sad story made the news, that a group of teenagers got bored and decided it was perfectly fine to kill a homeless man to "kill that boredom" so to speak.
"Should I post the fucking screenshots I made of Xiaozhuzi's library?" (from post 111)
" Some dude might have rummaged through it a bit, " (from post 120)
Weird, I could have sworn you stated in post 2, that you didn't do anything. And yes, I do consider rummaging/making screenshots of some supposed strangers account unethical. It's like finding someones door standing wide open and instead of keep walking (or going over and closing it) you walk in and take a look around, maybe even take pictures.
Situations like this, I wish I knew about technical/internet stuff, so I could figure out, if those illusive "irregularities" could be created by methods, trying to mask your location, IP and stuff. And therefore, if it could be used to make it look like something weird happend, even though it didn't.
