MODERATORS
Sony has an abysmal data security track record. By forcing everyone to provide a bunch of data to Sony (when it's been obvious for months that it isn't a technical requirement, and when their own website says that account linking when playing Sony released games on a PC is optional) everyone who wants to continue playing must now agree to have their data leaked just to pad the publisher's account numbers.
This is the biggest issue that a lot of these angry gamers aren't even talking about. If you look at the last ~15 years or so, Sony has suffered a major data breach every like 1.5 years, why the hell should anyone trust them? And you know this new requirement is gonna grab the attention of bad actors who know that hundreds of thousands or millions of new accounts will be made, ripe for the picking.
Yeah sure the entire US credit score system got owned a few years ago, but what if hackers deleted my DLC purchases?
