    Otger than needing to sign into an additional account, why does everyone hate this so much? Halo makes me sign into a Microsoft account, but i havent seen nearly the amount of hate for that. Is there somerhing worse about PSN accounts? Not trying to start shit, just wondering what I’m missing.

      1. It’s completely unnecessary
      2. Sony has a long history of leaking personal information
      3. Sony is most certainly selling your information for profit
      4. Sony’s servers suck ass. I literally can’t even make an account.

      That’s because it’s old. Everyone complained about it when it came out with this requirement as well.

      For me it’s just about account fatigue. It’s just yet another fucking one-off account that will eventually get hacked the next time Sony has a cyber security breach.

      Games that assume I want to play online or be “connected” are the problem. I don’t want any of that. I want to pay for a game with my Steam or Microsoft account and play it offline with that one service I bought it from. At first it was annoying to make one new account but OK well not that bad. Now every developer has some sort of required “get connected”. F that. It provides no benefit only added barriers for a game they should be happy I even bought in the first place. Online games sure I get it, mixed should be optional but offline. No absolutely not.
