    Otger than needing to sign into an additional account, why does everyone hate this so much?

    1. It’s completely unnecessary
    2. Sony has a long history of leaking personal information
    3. Sony is most certainly selling your information for profit
    4. Sony’s servers suck ass. I literally can’t even make an account. It gives me some kind of generic error.
    5. Sony stopped making the game available in countries where they don’t allow PSN accounts. Makes you wonder what’s so valuable about account linking that they would pass up sales in all of those countries.

    Halo makes me sign into a Microsoft account, but i havent seen nearly the amount of hate for that.

    That’s because it’s old. Everyone complained about it when it came out with this requirement as well. The frogs have all been boiled on that front.

      Everything you listed is true of all the other companies frankly. That’s just how it is. As you said, the frogs have been boiled, and Sony is almost the last to do this now. They need the analytics info all their competitors have, ostensibly. Sadly this is the landscape we are in.

        Sony music, in the CD music era.

        Not good or acceptable, but also kind of lime blaming Amazon pharmacy for something azon logistics does. Could not be a more different part of the company.
