10 Video Game Problems That Piss EVERYONE Off

10. Registering To Play

Oh boy! You just got home from work, confident your brand new game has finished downloading. You sit down for that wonderful, dopamine-boosting new game experience.

You press start and... it's time for virtual paperwork!

There are few things more deflating than buying a game and then having to give someone a bunch of personal information that is totally not the business of some game publisher. All for demographics data they apparently can't get from the console manufacturer directly. And to send you emails. It's mostly to send you lots of pointless emails.

In a generation where so much of our personal information is already tied to a cloud-based console profile that's used in every game, why does every publisher need its own online service that nobody uses?

Not to mention trying to remember your login info when their next game comes out. This might shock you, Electronic Arts, but I actually don't remember my login info from the last time I did this over a year ago. Please reset it so we can make sure this process takes as long as possible.
