Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account

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.

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.
