I even have accounts to some of these, and I don't want to use them anymore. I was okay doing the PlayStation account link when I played the Steam version of Spider-Man, since the account at least existed. It got bonuses, and it really didn't do anything after that. I had Helldivers 2 on my wishlist for a bit until all that shit went down. I want to put Ghost of Tsushima on my wishlist, but I'm not entirely sure where things are going with the account link thing with that game.
I've wanted to try Titanfall 2, never having heard anything bad about the game whatsoever, but that requires an EA account. I actually picked up LA Noire, only to find that has a third-party launcher requirement. The choice of games to put this shit on is getting irritating.

And that's something they added years after release, so you're never really safe from that possibility. People were rightfully pissed on steam when rockstar released updates on a bunch of old games - and it was only to add their stupid launcher.

Unless you own a game on a read-only disk, you don't really own it.
