still waiting for the day someone's data is actually "harvested" and something actually happens. people really need to feel important, right? guess your lives dont have much going on.

oh no an email? maybe stop using gmail and you'll actually find that a good email service automatically filters crap out for you. or just use a gmail account for gaming that you never use, and a personal email address for important things, then keep them separate.

ya'll the type of people to put "[e-mail]" on your resume and wonder why employers never contact you. so here you are, complaining about a free program like brokies do.

oh no, i have to click the button that makes my **free** password manager automatically create accounts/sign-in for me. OH NO THE HORROR.

[San]

So you want me to create an account on a password manager so it can remember my steam creds, and then use that password manager to create a new account on 3rd party? when does this pw inception end?

You were forced to create a Steam account to even get here in the first place, but not before creating a microsoft account to use the features of your windows installation which requires you to create an E-mail account for verification. If you'r smart you'r also accessing this using a VPN which you also had a to create an account with, which is paid for by the account you have with your bank. Point being ?

I didn't need to create an account to have Windows, I also didn't create an email to have Windows on my PC and I also don't need a VPN because I have a proxy.

The question here is, if I have already created an account on Steam, what is the need to have another account on another site?
Basically, it's just another way for them to gain access to our email and then fill our mailbox with spam or sell our data to third parties and more spam.
I just don't trust it!
I have a mail account created just for Steam and I don't receive a single spam/junk email
Providing my data to Steam is more than enough for me!

Actually that doesn't really make them money. It is totally unnecessary for their product model as a form of profit.

The launchers are for propriety rights, and the ability to apply certain guidelines and protocols directly through them, without Steam.

A good example is a micro transaction in a game store, or even DLC. ANY sales, or in game purchases, etc. Through your connected account, is direct. No tax for Steam to skim.

If the game doesn't have an account launcher. It doesn't really matter, as the transaction will go through steam regardless, and they take a commission, per sale.

That is why most things with a transactional component will have a launcher to it, unless it is owned by Valve or has some deal.

The cost for free stuff is generally personal info that can be used to advertised relevant products to you.

This is free at the beginning but can be prohibitively costly in the long run.

The cost for premium stuff is generally an up front fee.

This is paid at the beginning with no extra costs later down the road (excluding expansions and support dlc)

Pick your poison. You can't play something for free and not expect the devs to continue creating content for nothing in exchange.

you dont need to make an microsoft account to use windows... neither the rest

Yeah you do

[Timbued]

Sims 4 Required not only an account but the requirement of downloading the EA app.
Sea of Thieves requires an account and to use the Xbox App.
Some games also require the Ubisoft App or others.

I don't see what your point here is about requiring a Krafton account... How else are you meant to upload, download and share your creations?

lmao, is this your first game?

[Orphim]

Really? I've been able to play without a Krafton account just fine. You can deny to make one and you just don't have access to Canvas, which is the player sharing stuff. That's so they can enforce upload rules so they don't have certain things showing up as even potentially endorsed by them.

If you read, in order to use Canvas features and upload created houses, zois and items as well as share them, you need the account. There is no ability to do that on steam itself.

The Krafton account is NOT NEEDED to play the game and save locally.

If you want to download homes and items yes you need it, or to share yes you need it.

ENOUGH SAID.

[koinzell]

this is an old topic.

they changed the requirement.
you don't have to make an account anymore in order to play. they made it optional now as it should be.

[Grinnar]

I didn't make a Krafton account. I didn't know that was even a thing.
