> The fearmongering about Pluton

Part of the reason for this "fearmongering" (if it's fair to call it that) is that Microsoft has released little information about Pluton, besides a press release. Plus, it's not like the fears are completely unfounded based on Microsoft's messaging; Microsoft's press release says Pluton is based off the Xbox[1] (and this paywalled article mentions the same thing[3]), and they've previous said the major goal of the Xbox security system is piracy prevention [2], i.e. DRM. However, I agree with the overall conclusion of the main article that it's probably not much worse that what already exists.
