Are people this mad about Microsoft accounts? I picked up Forza Horizon 4 and couldn’t play at all until I signed in with one. However I already had one from using OneDrive.
Rockstar too. Can’t even play RDR2 solo without creating an account.
I do hate Sony extra because they’re the fuckwits behind some particularly stupid DRM schemes. But some of the games they’ve been publishing lately are good and very welcome on PC aside from this account crap.
Did it count as being mad, that I just don’t play any games that require linking accounts?
There’s plenty of games that don’t require it that I can pay, and missing out on some high budget good games that everyone is talking about isn’t a big enough deal to me that I will be fine with just skipping it.
Some old Ubisoft game pissed me off like that I think, required their account and launcher and pissed me off. I think I left a bad review in that one because of it, unless I was too lazy to.

Nah, IMO that’s pretty reasonable. I would say “mad” here means someone bought the game and then gave it a negative review over the account linking.
If I bought the game without realizing this, I would definitely give it a bad review because of it.
Have you had that happen with Microsoft / Rockstar / Ubisoft / EA / whatever accounts? That was my actual question.
