It looks like Microsoft's legal team was successful. PlayFire is allegedly no longer collecting Windows LIVE ID credentials.

That's great, but I still don't understand why anyone would even think about handing over any personal and private information over the internet. Especially in the day and age we live in now!

I applaud Microsoft for nipping this one in the bud. It shows that at least they have a marginal interest in protecting their users.

OMG, fanboy much? Stick your head farther up their... anyway...

I think all that shows is that they're protecting their own interests. It's all image and appearance, not actual concerns for their users -_-

It was easy enough for them to rush in and shut down playfire, who no one has accused of misusing the info... but if they have a site that starts charging up points on member's accounts and other nefarious deeds, let's see how long they take to step in...
