    I don’t think they want to touch this hornets nest - Microsoft already forces people to create Microsoft accounts for lots of things. This is part of why the sudden outrage for Sony doing so is a bit baffling. Why this and why now? We live in a world filled with companies making us create accounts for all and sundry.

      Its because we were able to form a community and solidarity with other players for months before the change happened. If it was that way at launch there wouldn’t have been this outrage. But even players with psn accts were upset and refunding cause they wouldnt be able to play with freinds they made in the game that were in banned countries.

      Along with the devs pushing for better changes. It was basically entire playerbase + devs unified against a decision by sony.

      because they changed the deal. it wasn’t required a month ago so it’s really fucking obvious that there’s no good reason to require it now.

      plenty of people don’t want to make extra accounts for bullshit and never use the shitty epic store or the shitty windows store, and stay on the shitty steam.
