It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

Funny, I don't remember PC gamers flipping out when they had to make UPlay accounts and Rockstar Social Club accounts to play those games on Steam. Those were single player as well.

I was one of those people flipping out about the Rockstar Social Club and Ubisoft Connect crap. There's zero need to force additional DRM on paying customers. We might not have all been vocal but we were around.

Considering the requirement doesn’t impact me personally as I have an account. I do understand part of the backlash. Requiring players to sign up to an account for a single player game that then asks you for to upload your government ID is kinda a bit much. I’d be sour too if I had to do likewise.
