Any other suggestions for things we can do to push back against Sony?
I’m going to not buy the game for a while until they sort out this mess
I suggest you don’t buy it. nProtect + 3rd party account. I made the deal with the devil so I gotta sleep with it.
I’m glad I gave up on live service games with Fallout 76’s disastrous launch. Even the popular ones are just impossibly shitty these days.
I have an extremely clear memory of watching that E3 Fallout 76 conference. I knew it would be a shit show as soon as he mentioned that there were no human NPCs. All the other shit he said about high next-gen detail/graphics just re-enforced the notion.
Bethesda? First time making a multiplayer game and they’re swinging for psuedo-MMO? lol, I’m gonna sit this one out.
Stop buying their products.
Can you also opt out of their frequent data breaches?
You can use an email alias service like addy.io or simplelogin to create a throwaway email that still forwards to your real address. That way the leak won’t contain your personal email.
So is this really only opt-out? If yes, that’s against the GDPR, which requires an active consent:
8 CONSENT OBTAINED UNDER DIRECTIVE 95/46/EC
- For example, as the GDPR requires that a controller must be able to demonstrate that valid consent was obtained, all presumed consents of which no references are kept will automatically be below the consent standard of the GDPR and will need to be renewed. Likewise as the GDPR requires a “statement or a clear affirmative action”, all presumed consents that were based on a more implied form of action by the data subject (e.g. a pre-ticked opt-in box) will also not be apt to the GDPR standard of consent.

Along with this you should also request a personal information report from your privacy settings…processing hundreds of thousands of requests should give them good practice and let Sony know we value our privacy
Thanks! I’ve had a PSN account since PS3. It’s hard to keep up with opting out of this stuff since they like to add things to the terms of service.
They will just share for other reasons, but at least it is something.
Yeah, or update their ToS and add something new.
If you find anything else to opt out of, let us know!
I haven’t played since the forced psn account but once I get back I am gonna temp-mail it until I find one that works.
Ain’t giving them a single extra PI.
Props ty
