Because it serves no purpose.
Sure. I agree. But like, it's here to stay. The hand wringing for years has changed nothing. Why are we dying on this specific hill? It's exhausting seeing the endless bitching about this. It's just another idiotic thing in life where it's probably healthier to accept it and move on.
Boiling the frog and whatnot.
It's easier to accept this annoyance and move on. And then the next one. And the next. Why bother fighting anything at that point? It's easier to let them step on us and be thankful they'll take our money for it.
If I understand correctly, the PSN overlay is the main issue for Linux players. This is already shitty. But they are explicitly excluding part of their potential customer base because they expect the payoff from forcing the accounts to be bigger than that loss. That should make you worry what your data will be used for, because simple upselling hasn't worked for other attempts at forcing additional logins - why should it work for Sony?
Don't say anything that's lest majest! Just let him have his way with you and it'll be over by morning. Don't fight back it's pointless.
