OK now they can go ahead with plan B where they allow you to link your PSN account to get some super cool cosmetic. I wonder what the reaction of the consumers will be then.

I think that's entirely fair and similar to store loyalty cards. You get something in exchange for your datas at least.

[-] ripley@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Except now many loyalty cards are now required to get sale prices that were previously available without them. It is a bleak world where folks have to potentially choose between affording groceries and protecting their privacy.

[-] positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

That's allright tho.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Wasn't that already the case? That's what they did in most of their other pc ports at least

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

People actually thought that this was a very cool solution. People are the worst.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 14 points 6 months ago

I really don't see the problem, provided it is cosmetic. If you don't want to link, you don't get a glittering, whatever in game. If you don't mind sharing your datas, then you get the shiny thing (and everyone knows you don't mind sharing your datas).

So if you mind sharing your data, don't get the shiny. You know it will become like that shiny pony back in wow's wrath expansion. It told you more about the person than anything else.

There are legitimate reasons for the devs and Sony to want your psn account linked. It's also reasonable to not want to do so. Why not offer a compromise, like any healthy relationship, and allow, not force, account linking, with a little incentive? Where is the downside to either party?
