It’s incredibly hard to explain to people why you should never store cryptocurrency (especially seed phrases) on the same computer you use to play games.
I had a friend who lost $8 million in a single day. He was simply playing Dota 2 and other games on his laptop - where his seed phrase was sitting in a .txt file.
Games aren’t developed to be super secure. Most of them actually open up numerous attack vectors through mods, cheats, overlays, random executables, and frequent downloads from untrusted sources. These create perfect entry points for malware specifically designed to scan for crypto wallets, seed phrases, and private keys.
Gaming PCs are high-risk environments by default. One compromised file is often all it takes.
Never ever keep your seed phrase on any internet-connected device - especially not on a machine you game on.
For anything significant, use a hardware wallet and store your backups offline on paper or metal.(Vladimir S. | Officer's Notes)
