No game-specific account required

106 votes

I greatly enjoyed the first beta of this game. However, I will not be playing the current beta beyond the launch screen as there is no option to proceed without making a separate account from the Steam account I was already using to access the game.

Incentivize your accounts all you like, but please do not require them!

Requiring an account is a shameless data-grab. It has no benefit to the gameplay.

"Remove PROS account requirement" (suggested by <Hidden> on 2024-05-24), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

In my case, the first time I tried to make an account it said "You've exceeded the maximum number of requests at one time, please try again later or use another device".

I tried on a different PC and it said the same thing. Same when I tried to just use my google account to login.

Even if it didn't turn people away with making the account, it doesn't even work some of the time anyway. Third party jank interjecting itself between the game and the gamer rarely works out.

you are losing players due to a silly login it's harder for people to find friends (voip may also help) and you are doing this right after the bullshit with helldivers do you think anyone trusts developers anymore? but i really enjoy this game and hope you make it an inviting place for competitive and casual people DaKKa DaKKa

remove account linking as a requirement and you will have a long time 40k fan check out your game. learn from the Arrowhead debacle, that game was far more popular than this will be (no offense, i think it looks great but 40k is still relatively niche) and that was a dogpile, make account linking optional and incentivize it.
