I want to buy and eat soup without someone dipping their dick in it and telling me it's a part of the experience.
Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account

What does a PSN account involve? Just an email and password, maybe a handle/nickname?
I assume it needs no credit card or payment.
If all that is true a PSN account is annoying but doesn’t seem so bad.

But that’s what makes it artisanal and an extra 3.50

Pretty silly comparison.

I read that in some regions ( I think UK/Ireland? ) it requires a picture OD your face/ID to verify your age.
Can’t verify that though

People nowadays hate having more than one account anymore. They can’t even bare having more than one exe that launches other exes installed on the same computer

Needing to run a programm just to launch a different program is stupid. I don’t need a middleman, just let me launch the second program directly.

Right, so you hate steam too then?
If you do, I’m more talking about the cognitive dissonance of others that love steam just because it’s the lesser evil of the launchers, but vehemently hate the idea of buying a game on another store front.

What other value does the so called other launcher provide? Modding sdk? Community forum? Family sharing? Controller remap?

I would definitely be annoyed but have had to create an account for other games too. Give them an email that isn’t your primary email and a unique password, I don’t see where there is any risk after that.

Remember when telemetry/data collection across the internet was often optional and pretty minor?
The more shit we absentmindedly agree to because it’s not really a big deal in the short term, the worse it gets in the long term.
If I play a game on Steam, then Playstation, EA, Ubisoft, etc should all fuck off. I already gave those companies my money, it’s insulting that that isn’t enough anymore.

If all that is required is an email address and password I could live with giving Sony a fake name and unique password, I don’t see where I have a privacy or security risk there. Annoying, but it’s a lot better than another launcher or something.

They don’t care if it’s a valid email or not. All they want is a unique identifier.
dan1101@lemm.ee 6 months ago
They might verify the email. But if you’re that worried about Sony having your email you can just make a unique one for them. You don’t have to give them your primary email.
