I was reminded that this game has a free demo offer. It wanted me to sign up for an account online, (which, don't get me wrong, sounds reasonable). But that was the exact kind of ask [playing an online(!) hacker game] that triggers my real world hacker paranoia.

Hey Adam!

Jump into the real hacker experience and create a throwaway email only for your undercover operations!

In The Black Watchmen some players even use burner cellphone for the orange level mission. :) Anything the make it more immersive.
