This is driving me nuts. Wherever I look, whatever game I play, the first thing it asks me to do is to create a goddamn account. Gone are the days when you can just purchase a game, install it and get go. Now you have to create seperate accounts for each of them and need to memorize a shitton of passwords and e-mail addresses.

I bought ME3, and it's good, but there are some things I felt like I could give feedback about. So I go to Bioware forums, and guess what? I cannot register my legally purchased game because it's telling me somehow I'm logged with a different account.

And the solution it recommends? Download a freaking demo to check if my account is the correct one logged on the game. Are they so fucking imcompetent to actually not include an account login page to the damn game?

This shit has to stop. It's enough. I don't want accounts, I don't want a profile, I don't want all those "benefits" and shit, just give me the damn game! And if I don't like it, let me talk about it. A seperate account for forums, a seperate account for game if actually there's a need for achievements and shit. But NO! Why would it be that simple? Just combine everything together and create a shitstorm.

My Profile Name in Bioware forum account page is the same as my PSN Name. Yet it somehow managed to sync me with a different account. How would that happen? Because every time I buy an EA game it asks me to login with an account. At some point I forget the password, and I have to recreate one to actually play the game. So then what happens? It syncs up with the old account without me knowing about it, and fucks everything up. I'm now downloading a stupid game demo to test what account it is synced to. If I manage to get it to right one, there's a chance my save games will be gone.

The worst thing? I cannot even post this thing on their forums because somehow I don't have access to the damn forums I used to have access just a couple months ago!

Fuck this shit. I hate accounts, I hate passwords, I hate e-mails. Fuck all that.

I'm with you on this. Especially the EA things piss me off. I made 5 accounts before I realized I could use the same one(I thought it was game specific, not publisher specific, my bad you might say but whatevs) to the point where I had an expansion on a differnt account than the main game due to auto login -.- I stopped bothering with their games ever since.

You could always just pirate the games and then pay for them later to assuage your conscience if you're of that mindset.

I agree. Battle.net goes in this direction heavily, but what really upset me was Skyrim: I buy the game, have the DVD in my machine, and I cannot do a damn thing for the next four hours while the game downloads from Steam?! Seriously? Back in the day not so long ago, if I had the DVD/CD and an account code I was pretty good to go, with a wait about as long as it took my PC to install and load he game.

I don't get why the gaming companies even bother packaging a disk. Even someone who goes to a retail store to buy the game doesn't't need the disk, just an account code and a website URL.
