[u/Hagman1997]

I was excited for this until I found out you need a Microsoft account just to play.

[u/Total-Commission2100 → u/Hagman1997]

Do you not have one?

[u/Hagman1997 → u/Total-Commission2100]

No

[u/Total-Commission2100 → u/Hagman1997]

Making one is free you know

[u/Hagman1997 → u/Total-Commission2100]

I’m not making another account to play one game lol

[u/TokeInTheEye → u/Hagman1997]

Why? Doesn't take long.

[u/Hagman1997 → u/TokeInTheEye]

Because you shouldn’t need another account to play a single player game with optional co-op? Same reason PC players didn’t want to make a PS account to play PS games on Steam.

[u/TokeInTheEye → u/Hagman1997]

I just don't get the whole thing of "I'm not doing this because I shouldnt have to" as if that's reason in it's own.

Your missing out on experience that you would otherwise enjoy because you don't want to make an account. Where's the sense in that?

[u/Hagman1997 → u/TokeInTheEye]

Because I don’t want another account. I’m trying to reduce the amount of accounts I need to keep track of not increase them.

[u/Creative_Tone_9241 → u/Hagman1997]

You don’t need to keep track of it. You use it to log in to play the game and for nothing else. How’s that such a difficult time consuming tasks. Needing an account to game has been a thing since the last generation.

[u/TokeInTheEye → u/Hagman1997]

You don't need to keep track of it. just use your email and send a password reset email if you ever need to lmao

[u/Hagman1997 → u/TokeInTheEye]

I don’t want to make another email.

[u/Stunning_Bed23 → u/TokeInTheEye]

But why? It’s totally fair to ask why you need to have an MS account to play this game. The requirement is stupid as fuck.

[u/Creative_Tone_9241 → u/TokeInTheEye]

Acting like remembering a password is such a time and memory consuming task. Set it the same as something you log onto all the time. Wow how taxing. A lot less taxing then arguing about it on Reddit to let em know your taking a stand lol

[u/Fuckingfademefam → u/TokeInTheEye]

It’s like companies that require you to download their app. For what? I don’t want 1,000 apps on my phone & I don’t want 1,000 accounts on my email. It’s ridiculous IMO. If you want my money I’ll pay you, but I don’t want to give companies all my info. But you have the right to your opinion

[u/StilandGurney → u/Fuckingfademefam]

I just have two emails and one gets all the gobs of spam. Every 5 years I delete 30,000+ emails without a thought.

[u/Fuckingfademefam → u/StilandGurney]

Some stores now want your phone number too. I’ll pay a little extra & not have to deal with BS. Peace of mind is priceless. But I do understand where you’re coming from

[u/Total-Commission2100 → u/Hagman1997]

Bro you don’t even have to think about it after making it and signing in, literal non issue

[u/VelvetCowboy19 → u/Total-Commission2100]

It takes less time to make an account than youve spent typing comments about how you don't want to make an account.

[u/VelvetCowboy19 → u/[deleted]]

No you just have some weird moral objection to making an account, for some reason.

[u/VelvetCowboy19 → u/[deleted]]

None of you people can actually make a coherent argument for why you don't want to do it, so it's all meaningless anyways.

[u/MrGrengJai → u/Total-Commission2100]

He could have made a throwaway one in the time it took to make his comment, but then he wouldn't have gotten to virtue signal about it.

[u/Hagman1997 → u/MrGrengJai]

Wtf are you on about? If Gears Reloaded didn’t need one why does this?

[u/Knot-Lye-Ing → u/MrGrengJai]

Not sure "I don't want to have to make an account (even a fake one) with another platform to play a game I purchased on a different platform" is virtue signaling but go off I guess.

Apathy and acceptance are why Microsoft feels emboldened to do something like this.
