At least MS account may be slightly more useful (OS, software, school, work). There is literally no reason to have PSN account except a few exclusive games on PlayStation. Even worse are smaller game devs and pubs nagging for accounts.
Of course there is no great reason offline/SP/old games should require an account to play, and out of principle “nope” should be considered. But almost every goddamn thing requires an account these days. At least we have decent password managers now…
I would never use an account for gaming with school and work or vice versa. Also, Microsoft’s account requirement was the reason I didn’t buy a Series X. The PS5 doesn’t force you to connect to the internet and make one. Although the new models force you to connect to the internet to activate the disc drive for some dumb fucking reason.
I fucking hate that. I bought Forza 4 and needed a Microsoft account to play single player. At least I got my money back.
