Sunny,

Didn’t think this was real at first read. But holy fudge it it is… Game is now being review bombed on steam. Here’s an additional article from Gaming on Linux:

Sunny,

thanks for sharing the chart! I doubt they Sony takes a hint from this too, but it certainly shows other developers and publishers something about signing contracts with Sony…

Sunny,

The current top Steam Review;

Yeah i’m not linking my account to PSN.

Sunny,

By clearly stated, they mean, in small letters further down on the steam page that nobody reads. Just like a cheeky terms of services…

Sunny,

You’re completely missing the point.

Sunny,

Love this! 🙌 Just started listening to the Audiobooks.

Read the comments here and you’ll quickly see why it’s a problem. There are multiple reasons.

  1. Sony will use this for tracking and advertising.
  2. Having a Sony account has proven to be not safe, many times…

Which we all now is on purpose and is disgusting corporate behaviour. 4. People who have bought the game and can’t make a PSN account have now lost access to the game they probably paid full price for. 5. I addition to those, imagine this new trend where each publisher is requires you to make an account withim their systems and having to link them whenever you want to play their game… That could mean you would now need an account for:

EA, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Square Enix, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft Studios, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Sega, Konami, THQ Nordic, 2K Games, Paradox Interactive, Focus Home Interactive, Devolver Digital… Etc…

And that’s only a small portion of the number of publishers… It’s a trend that benefits the publishers only as they get to track users on a new level. Honestly boils my blood the amount of corporate greed were seeing in the gaming industry.

Sunny,

Afraid you’re gonna have to dig deep into their privacy policies for that, including all third party vendors they partner with, which I’m assuming is more than just a few. The world of policies is intricate by design…

While true, I’m always afraid of it not being a troll and a genuine new user… would be a pretty bad experience for a new person to be called a troll, even though them having a controversial opinion.

Sunny,

This is the one narrated by the one and only Stephen Fry <3

Sunny,

thanks for sharing!

Sunny,

Could you link to what you’re referring to?

Sunny,

thanks :)

Sunny,

Wow what a stunning cat! Beautiful light green eyes too 😻

Sunny,

Didn’t know about this, might give it a try later on, thanks for sharing 🌻

Sunny,

Yes it is, I personally daily drive it and it’s great 🙌

Addtionaly, there is this post asking about the same. Might be worth reading the comments of you’re curios🌻

Sunny,

Yeah that sounds correct. In my case I wanted to self-host a certain application, and need SMTP for the service to be able to send me password reset forms etc… While I can just use a throw-away email for this, i’d much rather use my own email :<

Sunny,

Thats good, but also scuffed at the same time… if why not just enable it for all paid users, rather than keeping it exclusive…?

Sunny,

ah ok, thanks anyway! :)

Sunny,

Indeed :) I only have the free version, but might pay for the app as it is really nice and simple to use.
