Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter publishers Capcom have revealed that a data breach has seen a third-party gain access to information associated with more than 11 million Capcom ID accounts. “Suspicious activity” around the service, required to play online in the likes of Street Fighter 6, was initially noticed on October 19th according to Capcom, who have spent the past couple of days taking measures to contain and combat the problem.
My direct experience is with Ubisoft and Bethesda, which require signing in with an account specific to them if the device you’re playing on has internet access during game start up.
I don’t play much myself anymore, in large part because of this excessive entitlement publishers assume.
