I'm extremely petty and swore off Nvidia for turning off my shadow play unless I made an account for my 660, had to downgrade my driver to get it back without an account. I only have an Nvidia card now because I got a 3080ti for free after my rx 580 died.

I can get behind petty if for the right reasons, and yours for sure is!

I hate everyone and their uncle requiring accounts for even the most menial of tasks. We all know it’s only for gathering and selling data, so kindly fuck off.
Philips requires an acc for me turning on my BT nightstand light, a Hue Go. I’d rather spend 10 hours finding a workaround
