Reminds me of the time Sony threw shade at Microsoft when that gen's Xbox was going to lock games to the console with Sony saying that you'll be free to share your games with others. Microsoft should take the opportunity and make a similar statement right now; they'll rarely have the opportunity.

I don’t think they want to touch this hornets nest - Microsoft already forces people to create Microsoft accounts for lots of things. This is part of why the sudden outrage for Sony doing so is a bit baffling. Why this and why now? We live in a world filled with companies making us create accounts for all and sundry.

because they changed the deal. it wasn't required a month ago so it's really fucking obvious that there's no good reason to require it now.

plenty of people don't want to make extra accounts for bullshit and never use the shitty epic store or the shitty windows store, and stay on the shitty steam.
