Some people have no desire to engage in a product of a company whose values they are against.
It's just that simple.
If someone doesn't have an account but wishes to participate in the community event of their favorite game, now they need to make an account of the website they do not like.
Now, they need to give engagement and metrics to the website they don't like.
And that is without thinking how clunky that website is for navigation and submissions of material, even more if you do not have a habit to utilize it.
It's a lot of loops that demotivates people, simple as, and the concept does not apply to only X.
I like Alan Wake series and couldn't nor will play the 2nd one because they are an Epic exclusive, and I have no desire to make an Epic account, even less to just play one game.
It be what it be.
