I'm absolutely fine with this though.
I don't want to be stalked online, and I'll raise a glass over their bankruptcy notices.
Also, forcing users to login may also be in breach of GDPR, if you don't have a good reason to need a login, you're unnecessarily collecting personal information.
One obvious example of this is NVidia, you've paid for the card, yet they force you to login to use their apps.
- smolder 6y agoAnother example is Razer, who thinks you should need an internet connected, tied-to-a-person app to configure your mouse buttons. I'll never buy or recommend another product from them in any category.
- thor24 6y agoI also game for this. Let's see how this evolves. One thing I am curious to see (how it pans out) is if device fingerprinting (IP + Device+ Some other attributes etc. to map you) evolves to solve this problem. In my experience, it is pretty bad (at best 30% compared to IDFA/Device Id solutions) but I see few companies pitching this as an alternative.
