Liar 😂🤡 Infinite has required Steam/Xbox link since day 1. Has been that way with Xbox multiplayer games for years and it's never been an issue. But now it suddenly is. And of course you only have 2.7 hours, the game is garbage 🤣
Yeah of course the game is garbage. I tried it way back, I don't remember having to link anything. I would appreciate it if you stopped calling me a liar.

But what point are you trying to prove by posting a picture of my 2 hours of gameplay? You Sony fanboys are so toxic it's impressive.

Both games deserve bashing for requiring linking another platform to be able to play the game.

You've played Halo on Steam which requires an Xbox account. You play Apex Legends on Steam which requires linking an EA account. You play Rainbow 6 Siege on Steam which requires linking a Ubisoft account.

You say Arrowhead deserves hate for doing something that you obviously have no issue with...and when I point it out, I'm "toxic"? 😂

You said you never linked anything when the game has always required account linking, you're obviously lying, so why would I not call you a liar? Don't lie about things and you won't be called a liar 🤷‍♂️

I said I do not remember nor do I care, but if it was the case then Halo deserves criticism too. And when Apex Legends came to Steam, it did not require the EA Origins launcher as far as I remember, and that was a relief.

Either way, my point was that Arrowhead deserves bashing because of this, and every studio that does it too.

This thread is about them, so I commented on them, you misunderstood and decided to go and search my profile to put words in my mouth and paint me as the guy who is ok with Xbox games asking you to link other accounts but not with PlayStation games.

Not everything in the world is about PlayStation VS Xbox.

I never said it required the origin launcher lmao, I said it requires a 3rd party account, which you are now complaining about. EA link has been required since it went to Steam, same with R6 Siege requiring a Ubisoft account. You say you have an issue with it but do it over and over? 🤔 Has nothing to do with PS vs Xbox, just pointing out the hypocrisy of you people. Now take your L and run along kiddo

Any game, on any platform, asking me to sign in to anything is a piece of shit for doing it.
I'll swallow that I have to sign in to PSN or Xbox or steam to play games on there, but signing in to Xbox live to then sign in to Ubisoft or Acti? Go fuck yourself.
Signing in to PSN to sign in to EA? Go fuck yourself.
Signing in to Steam to sign in to PSN? Go fuck yourself.

Unfortunately, modern gamers are such coom brained, tribalist consumers that signing in to multiple accounts, some requiring 2FA is no big deal and it's why companies keep trying to bum us with stupid shit like this.

Fortunately, most games have alternative ways to play and sign in.

From a business point of view this makes perfect sense. It will grow their PSN MAU, and any growth makes their shareholders happy, I've learned. It's also growing negative reviews, even more growth.

Probably one of the dumbest Fucking "controversies" I have ever seen. Pretty much every major online game requires an external account bug the publishers.

Microsoft, Ubisoft, Activision, Capcom, Riot, Blizzard, Epic and many others require accounts yet no outrage.

You are clearly not interested in the truth but rather in emojis, Ls, and stuff. And ironically enough using the word "kiddo" lol

Yes, I did it back then because I liked a game well enough to play it so I put up with it, that doesn't mean I didn't have an issue with it.

A game studio deserves criticism for forcing players to link extra accounts, that was my original point. IDK what your issue was with my statement.

controversy, exposure, even more PR for free. this game will live rent free in people's heads for whole year.

only negative could be, if your are doing some evil, immorally bad things.

What do you mean I'm not interested in the truth? Is it not true that you've linked 3rd party accounts to play games on Steam several times? Yes or no? I'm confused 🤔 You claim to have an issue with something, but continuously do it, that IS the truth. Thank you for proving my point that it's nothing but fake outrage. Have a nice day

Yes, I did link in the past. But you are the one who made this thread about me.

I said: "The game X deserves negative reviews for forcing players to link external accounts or whatever." It has nothing to do with me whatsoever.

I understand the hate.

So Sony just need to left Steam so games will only need one sign in (PlayStation account).

Sony doesn’t need to care about reviews in a platform they don’t own.

The drama is quite stupid, it takes a minute to create an account and link it and other than this it doesn't change the game at all. There is no change in the game experience, it doesn't open a launcher, don't need to login again etc. Nothing.

Put it behind a pay wall 😌
The game isn't free, it's already behind a paywall





I have it linked since day one, but I don't know why. It would make more sense if the friendlist, trophies and progress would be shared between both platforms.

Well they want to integrate PlayStation features such as trophies and social features across both pc and console. It should streamline comms for instance without everyone having to use discord. However, I thought that was also the point of discord integration currently.

And no, this is nothing new to online games… I think every major game has its own memberships that’s necessary.

A bit of faux outrage
