Creating new accounts for a game is an instant turnoff for me.

 
Yeah, me too. I have Steam, GOG, Uplay, EA and BattleNet.

I have those plus PSN, Nintendo, Epic, Amazon*, Apple, Google*,
Microsoft and Roblox.  I've probably got some others that I haven't used
in so long I don't remember.

6 months of D3 and only did it for D4 on gamepass early this month, and
will probably never do so again.

fortunately, I probably have a ton of those, oh yeah Homecoming for City

You could possibly count Youtube & Netflix since they both have games
now, but I've not actually tried any of those, unless you count the Puss

Yes it's way, way too many.

Yeah. I've accumulated a number as well (including those mentioned
above EA, Rockstar, UPlay, IndieGo, etc.) It's really annoying. But
it's an aggregate formed over decades of video-game play. I really
only _buy_ from Steam and GOG, with a bit of side-hustles from Amazon
and HumbleBundle.

I know Epic/EA/etc. think that by forcing their clients and accounts
on me, they'll get me to start buying direct from them, but it ain't
happening. They're just annoying middleware.
