It's not that easy. My Blizzard account is over 10 years old - never thought they'd go down hill so much. What's the solution, to never create accounts online anywhere? Even if a service looks good and you support it, a corporation like Activision can come along and have their asshole CEO infect everything.
Walking away from my account now means throwing away a lot of money spent on it.
Yes. I buy all my games either as physical releases on consoles or DRM-free on PC. If a game requires an account to play, I won't play it.
Fuck people who want to play matchmade competitive games I guess
they are all ill moderated and implemented anyway. competitive gaming is a cancer on the gaming community.
idk, I've had some great experiences with competitive gaming, I don't think generalizing it all as a cancer is reasonable.
