I wouldn't know much about video games I never got much into them. I was merely comparing apples to apples as far as social media goes. I read a article on here the other night where someone created 80 accounts and another was worse then that:

There is currently 80 accounts for zhiyin all created through the Steemit account creation process. From @zhiyin1 to @zhiyin80 for a total of 1,200 STEEM Power delegated by Steemit Inc.

This doesn't sound like a lot of STEEM power but this is free and it isn't the only accounts in their network. There are many more. There is one network with over 20,000 accounts.

Then there was this one:

...I think things like this are a bit more concerning then if I was being spammed with political advertisements. I don't think this kind of abuse runs that rampant throughout the financial system(s) currently in place where a group or individual could create that many accounts unnoticed and, well, basically rob the bank. When dealing with blockchains/money/crypto there has to be a lot more trust in the system then what we currently see going on to have crypto/blockchain become something that people want to invest with and be secure knowing that these kinds of abuses aren't running rampant through the system because you are absolutely right that history has shown we will never be without crooks.
