Because I can give the credentials to someone who want’s to play the game and I don’t give access to all of my games.
I even do that with games I buy. You hacked my diablo3 account? Bad luck. But you don’t have access to all my other games. I can even resell the whole game account when I’m done playing.
Don’t get why my inital post was downvoted. I’m not saying that you should do that. Was just asking. But ok.
Yes. I really don’t think it’s an effort really. I mean I just press register and enter some_unique_name@mydomain.com. This takes a minute. It’s not that I have to create a new emailaccount or something. And I can even remember them, because the names follow a pattern.
As I said it all goes in a single catch-all inbox where I can easily filter by adress.
And if I get spam on such an adress they either got hacked or sold my data.
Origin for example leaked my email adress for Dragon Age.
I also give out unique emailadresses everywhere I need to give one.
I got spam on an email I gave exclusively to an ebook distributor. When this happens I just block this adress.
I do this because it’s no effort at all. If we meet I could say to you: my email is yourname@mydomain.com and you get out your phone, send me an email and I recieve it. No work at all on my side.
I have a catch all email, so I create an account every week for no good reason. Anyone else?
Why?

So you have a different account for each game? This seems like a lot of effort for little return
