Account creation fatigue. I'm personally not fond of creating a one-off account for every fucking game I play on steam. It's enough already. EA account, ubisoft account, rockstar account, PSN account, xyz account, ugh. Every new account I create is just an additional attack vector for when all of these companies eventually get hacked. I get occasional emails about security breaches or unauthorized attempts for random ass accounts I created years ago, and it's so frustrating. I don't even have a playstation. It's just so annoying. I'm sick of it. I don't believe for a fucking second that Sony is requiring this for "security and safety." Those fucks just want to inflate their user numbers for the shareholders and collect our data to sell to 3rd parties. I am so fucking sick of this shit already. I bought the game on steam. Just let me use my steam account only god dammit.

Wwwwwaaaaaaaa

I don't have Xbox or PlayStation and I still signed up. Just use a stupid throw away password. Ya know how many times people have tried to log into my twitch account and I ignored it because even if they did get the password it means absolute jack shit. If ya do use the acct to buy stuff, use a virtual credit card to make payments so its as easy as shutting down that CCD and opening a new one.

Be more pissed about the rootkit of a anti cheat that they use
