    what would be one more if I hadn’t already had a PSN account.

    One more attack vector to gain access to all your other accounts across the internet.

      Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can’t compromise the others.

      The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.

      Looking at you Nvidia, Razar, etc…

        @NocturnalEngineer @Isoprenoid i was so infuriated back when nvidia demanded an account for shadowplay. I thought id lose access to the encoder thingy. So glad that it can be used by other software too. Uninstalled the shadowplay/gf experience stuff and never looked back
