Deserved. It's just not necessary. Think, why would a multi-billion dollar company want you to sign up for some other service, even if it's free? Because they want your data, and they want to sell it.
If only there was a digital bill of rights that applied to all tech companies that would make the selling of data illegal.
Nah, sounds difficult. let's just ban ticktok for my lobbyist buddy.
Theoretically their community management tools are based on PSN, which does make some sense. This is the official reason for it. Of course they're also hoovering up all your data to sell also. That's the reason that gives them more money, so the real reason.
I mean, it IS their own game. Let's not be disingenuous, they would be doing the same even if it was Steam data.
