What’s the solution, to never create accounts online anywhere?

Yes. I buy all my games either as physical releases on consoles or DRM-free on PC. If a game requires an account to play, I won't play it.

Fuck people who want to play matchmade competitive games I guess

Competitive games were once upon a time p2p 🥲 now we have single player games that demand networking.

they are all ill moderated and implemented anyway. competitive gaming is a cancer on the gaming community.

idk, I've had some great experiences with competitive gaming, I don't think generalizing it all as a cancer is reasonable.
