Yeah right, you absolutely were. I even gave you examples of where MS retroactively added it in Minecraft yet you kept putting up a fight. Incorrectly claimed it didn't apply to old Minecraft, I showed you it did, then you went off again on defending it regardless.Unfortunately for you and your agenda, neither did I.
Better luck next time, I suppose?

Tag, you're it.
Stupid people acting like it's the same thing as with Helldivers II when it's totally different. Helldivers II was playable without an account, it was a few weeks after they made it mandatory. I'm not sure PS users would be okay with Forza launching without requiring a Microsoft account just to have it become mandatory a few weeks later for no reason.
This is why you never had people complaining about Ubi account on Steam for example (they complain about the additional launcher for sure, but not the need for an account). It's needed from the get go, you NEVER have access to the game without an account as opposed to HDII where you could play normally for weeks without one.
It's really not that hard to understand.

Not even in the same realm. One is a serious sim racer, the other is over the top fun arcade racer that still looks stunning with awesome OST. Most people would always go for arcade games versus sims. NFS Unbound is like 10 tiers below FH series in fun. FH is probably now one of the best things xbox has considering both HALO and GeOW are empty shels of what they once were. You are mixing up Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport.
As for on-topic, it takes 2 mins to make a MS account. Stop being crybabies over everything. At the end of the day its a MS game. You didnt really expect MS will just streamline it for PS.

We're talking about Sony and PSN here. Not MS and Minecraft. Keep up.
And here's the thread. Where did I paint Sony as the anti-Christ for mandating PSN accounts for Helldivers 2?
Sony took some lumps for retroactively mandating PSN after launch, showing everyone that it clearly wasn't required for crossplay. Aside that, I've never expressed any antipathy to cross platform accounts required for online/cross play

I don't care though. Maybe its a serious matter to you, but for me its just another deal. If they don't want my money thats fine, not gonna mop around.
Yes and I said it was asnine not to do it because it was stated from release and that it was disabled due to the launch issue. I gave you an example of minecraft doing it completely retroactively (as in no initial requirement at time of purchase but adding a login requirement later without any shitstorm) and you went into definesive mode for minecraft instead while suggesting the shitstorm wasn't asnine for Helldivers (jumping to the defence of adam and manabyte). You obviously don't see the connection but at least try to keep up.

because nobody plays sea of thieves so nobody knew.
i didn't even knew this is on playstation
From all indications, Sea of thieves on PlayStation sold quite well…even better than your beloved Stellar Blade.
Most estimates put it above 10 million unit sales on Steam…and it also requires an MS account too.

Does Sea of Thieves or Grounded have this?

Its weird (to me at least)
I've associated my account that's fine it doesn't bother me but when I play the game on PS5, it has my Xbox Gamer Tag and details in the game instead of my PSN user name and all my Xbox friends list are driving around and even though I'm playing it on PS5, if you go to the Xbox app, it says I'm playing the game on Xbox.
It's also brought across all in game milestones (for example, I went to photograph a car and instead of saying 1 of 600 or whatever it was it was like 525 of 600)
I thought I was just literally linking the account, I didn't know it would import all the Xbox stats into my new game.
And before anyone says you're an idiot for buying it twice, I don't care about that, it's only money.

Isn't that just cross-progression? Meaning your progression in the game is synced across all platforms ?

Quite possibly however I didn't know it did that. I thought I was just linking my account.

It actually isn't. None of the save files and most of the accolades don't transfer, just a few random stats and accolades with no rhyme or reason.

Let me be 100% clear on my thoughts. I'm not bedwetting or having a meltdown about linking any accounts at all.
I just (find) found it slightly odd that my PSN username (because you know. I'm using a PS5) has been replaced by my Xbox gamertag details in the game and that despite the cross play feature being off (need to stress that) all the cars driving round in the game have my Xbox friends names above them, not my PSN friends. It has imported some (not all must stress) Xbox progress into a new game save (roads driven, billboards smashed, cars photographed that kind of thing) and finally if I go to the Xbox app on pc or phone, it says I am playing Forza on the Xbox...
But of course a total non-issue like you say...

Every Playstation is now officially an Xbox!
MS wins the war!
Every Playstation sold counts as an Xbox sale, every Playstation user counts for Xbox MAU.
It's an absolute and flawless victory.

Us playstation fans were like the Trojans celebrating victory too early. Any day now we'll wake up and our PS5's will be green.
