Oh it’s one of those? Same reason I returned red dead redemption 2.

I installed Arc Raiders from my family sharing group, fired it up then closed it and uninstalled it as soon as it says I need to create YET ANOTHER account just to play this game.
I’m done creating an account for every single game.

You are aware that you see beforehand whether the game requires a separate account (at least on Steam)? Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?
And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 2 days ago

No, because as I indicated in my post, I didn’t buy it. I installed it from someone else’s account within my family group.
Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?
I don’t know, but not my concern.
And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.
Not according to the prompt I was shown.

No! Not having to create an account that keeps your account available cross platform!

I don’t think it’s that big of deal, doesn’t it just link the account to your steam/psn/xbox live? I don’t even remember making a password for the account. It’s not like you also have to log in to another worthless launcher like blizzard/ubisoft/ea games on steam. That’s where I draw the line.

It wanted me to make an Embark Studios account. And yes that is a big deal.

Yep. I wish others were brave enough to actually make a change. Accounts are purely there to steal data and further enrich thieves.

And beyond that, they’re just uselessly annoying for consumers
