The fact that they're still going to be numerical is pretty bad. Also is it still one code per system, or one per account? The U is supposed to be able to have multiple user accounts, right?
Yeah. They've said there's an account system that you can tie purchases to, so it's not a system wide friend code, or shouldn't be. I agree that it being a number is the real problem in general, though. Not sure why they want to continue that. Not a fan of how they're handling achievements either, unless they plan to track them on a system level.
