Is this an attempt to temporarily artifically inflate unique account activity metrics for self-congratulation and shareholder ego stroking?
(This month X millions players logged in to play games, which is a significant increase from before!)
As per another comment, I didn't know Gmail can delete an account after 2 years of inactivity. Proton mail is only 12 months on the free plan. With so many things being related to email I feel like I should have a more robust system.
An important detail nobody is mentioning is that this is EU only due to privacy laws there. Sony still sucks, etc., but it's important to get the facts straight.
There's totally no EU law forcing companies to delete stuff you bought.

Is it time for me to try to mod my ps4 so I can keep all my games? Does ps4 support soft modding yet? Cause I can't solder...

Wow, say what you want about Microsoft but the worst I had to do with my Xbox Live was repatriate it from a Russian hacker.

They can only do that because Microsoft dropped the ball and there is no real competition in sight.
Err.. What about Steam. Steam Machine, plenty of portable options are available with not only SteamOS now, Steam Frame is inbound, and I'd expect to see a lot of Steam machine clones.
I'm still playing games I purchased 10+ years ago still (finally trying to finish Broken Age)
The only thing going for Playstation / Xbox really is the pricing at the moment

Y'all signed up for this shit when you bought into digital products. No amount of warning you could make it to your dumb fuck brains. You're also still doing this shit with other services and products. We're all being strategically boxed into a fucking cage you refuse to acknowledge because you want things so much it shuts your brain off.
Yeah, I've tried to warn people about Steam account dependence, but they're somehow super-diehard over those while poking fun at Sony. There isn't even any beneficiary system in place. Each is just a step away from being like the other... Nothing beats owning your own data.
Steam is fine, for now, but will eventually do the same shit once gabr is dead and the business side takes over everything. But that's the trap, make conversation to a digital way of life appealing enough to starve the alternative to death, then tighten the noose.
