@Stovetop @bitfucker why should people accept it though? They could play just fine without, why should they accept having to create an additional account and having to log into it every time they play the game? Of theres no shitstorm, this wont stop and might be done by other studios/publishers too

They shouldn't.

I am just saying, if the concern is about putting your email on another service, then don't put your email. You can use a throwaway one if you just want to get through it and play, or if it's a matter of principle and you don't want to, that's cool too.

Just offering my 2 cents on keeping personal information safe on the web. It's often unsafe to put all your eggs in one basket and email is no exception, so having some "burner accounts" on hand can help.
