I was leaning more toward Nintendo doing this, since they already have NFC readers in the Switch but Sony was my second guess due to their rapid decline into fucking insanity.

If you have a YubiKey or similar USB hardware keystore, you can authenticate to Amazon and some other retailers for a purchase using it today.

Remember in 2011 when PSN was hacked, and it was revealed that customers names, addresses, DOBs, usernames and passwords were stored unencrypted?

I remember. Sony will never get my credit card information.

Sony etal are doing their best to make PC the main gaming & entertainment platform again and Microsoft is actively pushing everyone to Linux. It's an interesting timeline we are in.
