Now I know what you guys are going to say
“But EVERYONE uses Facebook/Steam/Google+”
I don’t, or at least not with this e-mail I’m 22, it’s a growing trend among my peers to just spend less time using Facebook and moving on to Twitter/Whatsapp/Tumblr etc where as Facebook is more for business relations and another means of advertising our businesses and what have you.
Whereas others simply prefer to not use social media altogether. Two days ago when I signed up there was an actual sign up button IIRC, thus I was able to register with this Username without linking it to my Facebook or Google+ but imagine my surprise when I came back today and wondered “How the hell am I going to log in?” The short answer was; Log back into the Facebook tied with this e-mail and hope for the best.
The thing is, Username/E-mail log ins are a staple in online forums and while the G+ and FB options are intuitive and easy to use it takes away nothing by making those old options available. I’d prefer to deactivate the FB account but I want to keep the username without having to switch accounts entirely as this is the e-mail most of my game related stuff goes to now(which before when I was a teen was just my main e-mail in general).
Thoughts and opinions appreciated.
