      I was one of them to begin with but once I found out about the whole thing with people of certain countries not able to have an account even though they had already bought the game and we’re even previously able to play are more locked out, then I was on board.

      I’m not against just making accounts, I must have thousands across the internet, what would be one more if I hadn’t already had a PSN account.

        But the game isn’t even available on PlayStation so why am I creating an account? At the very least it’s pointless busy work. And apparently not even well thought out.

        One more attack vector to gain access to all your other accounts across the internet.

          Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can’t compromise the others.

          The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.

          Looking at you Nvidia, Razar, etc…

        Wouldn’t it be nice to not have your info spread across thosands of accounts that you yourself even implied you don’t keep track of?

        What sony pulled, and coporate moves like it, are at least in part a result of people saying “meh, what’s one more account, I’ve already got thousands.”

        We as a community aren’t an immaculate entity. Companies don’t just make these moves out of nowhere, they analyze what we’re willing to do so they can take advantage of those things to make money. That’s not some sleazy secret scheme, thats basic market research. If we collectively show we do actually care about this stuff and won’t supoort their business when they do it, it might not happen so often.

      Demanding we apologize for the negative reviews now that Sony has reverted the change, if the discord server is anything to go by
