Which you can only enjoy right after you finish creating your Ubisoft account. Or your EA account. Or your Bethesda account. Even though I want a single player experience. And if I refuse to create an account, I am unable to pay for the game I just paid $60 for.

All of that on top of a console that is constantly showing me ads and forcing me to login somewhere.

This behavior is ridiculous. I cannot believe that Microsoft/Sony do not put a stop to it and at least require a seamless integration with the console username. Optional (real optional, not 90% gameplay locked) account created with the game company.

Those publishers are for sure not producing "the greatest games of all time." You'd find those reqs even sooner on PC where you have to install their own store app, too
