What are the advantages of implementing Photon add-on to my title?

Hello everyone,

I checked the Photon quickstart page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/sdks/photon/quickstart), and as far as I understand, this add-on is useful when I need to catch the Photon events. Is there any other advantages rather than this?

If you want to integrate Photon with PlayFab to your game, the Add-on is necessary. Besides of webhooks, clients are able to call GetPhotonAuthenticationToken to get a token so that they can join the room securely, otherwise, additional self-managed authentication system should be required.

@SethDu Could you explain this joining room securely feature? What could happen if I don't implement Photon Add-on to my title?
