Mandatory ID verification to stop cheaters. Genius plan, right? Turns out forcing everyone to submit government IDs just created a thriving black market for stolen identities. The game died, criminals got rich, and now we're speedrunning the same mistake but with operating systems.

Nothing says "security" quite like handing your grandma's ID to the same people who still think "password123" is acceptable. The criminals are already rubbing their hands together. They learned from Scum that mandatory verification isn't a wall—it's a product catalog.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as a government IT policy.
