“Community and solidarity”, “unified against a decision” - these words in this context give me nothing but despair. If only such energy were devoted to something that mattered more than this.

I don’t think they want to touch this hornets nest - Microsoft already forces people to create Microsoft accounts for lots of things. This is part of why the sudden outrage for Sony doing so is a bit baffling. Why this and why now? We live in a world filled with companies making us create accounts for all and sundry.
Yeah sure the entire US credit score system got owned a few years ago, but what if hackers deleted my DLC purchases?
Is this whole controversy just weird capital-G Gamers logging into their Steam/Reddit/X/etc accounts to complain about logging in to a PlayStation account? I don’t get what the big deal is.
Not at all. Many mp3 players didn’t even have screens. Flip phones also didn’t have redundant screens on the outside like they do now. The old devices which did have outside facing screens had hard thick plastic and not glass on their screens. Think about what your phone case is made of - the screens used to be made of that stuff too.
Those old devices didn’t have big easily shattered glass screens like current smartphones do.
Cargo pants were great back in the 2000s when you could use them to stow an old Nokia phone, an iPod, and a little point-and-shoot digital camera.
I bet the so-called crimes of the ”non-innocent” 10-30% were merely acts of defending themselves against a foreign invader.
The real crumple zone is fragile masculinity.
They’re already sending this boat all the way from the Pacific Ocean. Maybe every boat which is closer (which would be almost all of them) has the long weekend off? You can’t assume that the US military is going to be sensible or efficient about anything to do with this genocide cruise. They might point it towards Suez just so they can do a bit of sabre-rattling with China and Iran and probably everyone else too along the way.
Yes, all this drama over pointless twaddle.
