So...it's your Google profile that they use across their services. That's like saying you can't rate an iOS app because it requires an iTunes account. The social stuff can be used or ignored as you see fit.
- darklajid 11y agoI cannot talk about anything iOS, I wouldn't know how that works and don't know what an iTunes account is. But here's the thing: I have a Google account. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to put down cash in the damn Play Store¹. Just recently I bought a couple of $10 apps. They take my money. They know who I am. I cannot rate any application. Because my 'Google Account' isn't good enough for that, I need that 'social stuff'. Which I cannot, because my G+ account (I gave it a try, didn't like it all that much and got nymbanned²) is ~dead~. That's actually like Amazon requiring an account to order things (fine, 'normal'), but you have to connect Facebook to post a review. In one word: Insane. Or broken. ①: Now that is a moronic name and never gets better. ②: I used to change my name from my ~real name~ to 'Ben .'. Account locked out and lots of things are broken. Of course, a while later they changed their minds and now ~real names~ are optional and if you don't want to give a last name they suggest that you use .. '.'. I wish I was making this up.
