I got it on Game Pass and wanted to give it a try, but when I sat down on the couch, controller in hand, and tried to run it, it asked me to take my phone out and scan a code to create yet another worthless account somewhere. It wouldn’t allow me to even start the game otherwise.
It made me actually say “are you fucking kidding me!?” out loud and uninstall immediately. Screw that - I will not eat at a restaurant that makes me scan a code to see the menu, and I will definitely not play a game that does it either…
Rant over, but that experience annoyed me so much that no update or improvement will make me want to install it again.
On one hand, perhaps so, but on the other, let’s not equate “privacy” with “ability to do illegal stuff with no consequences”. You can have privacy in your own house, but if you cook meth or make bombs in it, the police can and will bust your door and get you. Doing illegal stuff requires way more care than just “privacy” and Proton might not be the best option for that…
