Otger than needing to sign into an additional account, why does everyone hate this so much? Halo makes me sign into a Microsoft account, but i havent seen nearly the amount of hate for that. Is there somerhing worse about PSN accounts? Not trying to start shit, just wondering what I'm missing.

  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.

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.
