Why does it have to be facebook, exactly? I dont wan't to connect my account to the game. I understand that point of view and honestly, I would be more comfortable connecting it to my email account than my Facebook account. I would be most comfortable with just creating an account in the game and having to sign in every time, but unfortunately they don't do that and I don't have an answer to why. Social media is becoming more and more invasive and the idea of connecting everything is becoming more and more prevalent. I have accounts with both Google and YouTube. . . which turned interesting when Google bought out YouTube and wanted me to post with my real name instead of my YouTube user name. Sorry, no thanks. Although I am not ashamed of who I am, I chose to use a user name, because I wanted to use it, not interested in their changing things on me at this point (couple years ago and I still sometimes have to fix it, because for some reason it gets mixed up). Amazon either bought out or partnered with ComiXology and they are constantly asking me to combine my account or to sign in my with Amazon account. Yes, I have an Amazon account and yes, I suspect I will eventually be forced to connect the two if I want to keep using ComiXology, but until we get to that point, not going to happen. I almost never sign into things using Facebook or Twitter, choosing instead to make my own separate accounts, because this is safer in my mind. If someone hacks one account, they aren't getting all of them. Well, not unless they are extremely bored and decided to hunt down every single account I have, but good luck with that. Almost none of the dozens and dozens of accounts I have are connected together. They'll never even know if they have all of them. Pretty sure they haven't even all been accessed from the same computer. . . or same three computers. . . so they can't find them all by hacking my computer either.
