I was one of them to begin with but once I found out about the whole thing with people of certain countries not able to have an account even though they had already bought the game and were even previously able to play are now locked out, then I was on board.

I'm not against just making accounts, I must have thousands across the internet, what would be one more if I hadn't already had a PSN account.

One more attack vector to gain access to all your other accounts across the internet.

Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can't compromise the others.

The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.

Looking at you Nvidia, Razar, etc...

@NocturnalEngineer @Isoprenoid i was so infuriated back when nvidia demanded an account for shadowplay. I thought id lose access to the encoder thingy. So glad that it can be used by other software too. Uninstalled the shadowplay/gf experience stuff and never looked back
