Why do you need an account of any kind to play a single player game?
Comment on Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5

Sounds about right. Needing an account for third party crossplay is nothing new.
This is the back of the Split Fiction box warning about needing an EA account and a billion other things.

To be fair, it is a forced co-op game.

Oh I was referring to FH but yeah that makes sense for Split Fiction

Oh sorry yeah for FH you are most correct.

It’s not a single player game.

Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to have to begin a comment with these words so early in my life…
…but back in my day, the vast majority of the back of a game case was reserved to screenshots, and to describe the features and plot of a game. Not the intricacies of the T&Cs you need to agree to prior to playing!

Exactly. You’d have a blurb, a barcode, and some screenshots from a better looking platform than the one you had.

I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢
