    Sounds about right. Needing an account for third party crossplay is nothing new.

    This is the back of the Split Fiction box warning about needing an EA account and a billion other things.

      Why do you need an account of any kind to play a single player game?

        It’s not a single player game. Or did you mean Forza?

        Although if you’re offline you won’t be able to make an account anyway.

        To be fair, it is a forced co-op game.

      Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to have to begin a comment with these words so early in my life…

      …but back in my day, the vast majority of the back of a game case was reserved to screenshots, and to describe the features and plot of a game. Not the intricacies of the T&Cs you need to agree to prior to playing!

        I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢

        Exactly. You’d have a blurb, a barcode, and some screenshots from a better looking platform than the one you had.
