I just got this email from Sony. My kids use their profiles offline (meaning they don’t even have a playstation account) on their PS4, and use my games. And now they want to allow kids to link their other accounts (my kids only have a SimpleX user to chat with their family, LOL).

The sad thing is that a lot of parents will go: “Nice, they can now have it all in one place!”

Love how they say this at the end:

Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we recommend talking to your child about account linking so that they can safely enjoy these new features while playing on PlayStation.

They fucking call these FEATURES!

    If anyone creates accounts for this BS at least use fake information. Write the fake info down in case you need it in the future. But they have no way to know it’s fake.

    Never forget the several high profile hacks Sony has been the victim of and all the personal data they have had stolen.
