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.

What’s the solution, to never create accounts online anywhere?

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

Competitive games were once upon a time p2p 🥲 now we have single player games that demand networking.
