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.

If all that is required is an email address and password I could live with giving Sony a special email address 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. ETA: It asks for birthdate, definitely don’t give them your real birthdate but give them something close. I have a standard fake that I use.

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.

I hate Facebook but it doesn’t sound right to legally force a service to act how you want. Facebook is how they want to be, take it or leave it. Wish more people would leave it and that there were better alternatives.

No it needs more AI. Maybe AI-generated ads. The killer tech of 2024. The shareholders will be so pleased.

Yes I’ve been interested in a few EGS exclusives but by the time they are available on Steam I don’t care about them any more.

I remember being a kid and whacking them out of the air with a stick. There were hundreds.

It’s probably the city people moving into an area with fields and forests that have never heard cicadas before.

Sounds like something Chase would do.

But more likely you’re typing something wrong or their login servers are malfunctioning and return “no match” by default for safety. Thats always been my theory.

Yet another example of multi billion dollar companies that don’t curate their content because it’s too hard and expensive. Well too bad maybe you only profit 46 billion instead of 55 billion. Boo hoo.
