Who thought it was a good idea to force login to LOOK at the asset store?

Which kind of website forces you to login to simply READ the store pages?

Why are we getting forced to login when just wanting to read up on something or look at some assets?

Who thought this is a good practice? Edit: Apparently a bug?

 

I'm not signed in and able to view pages:

 

Maybe it is a bug but it is very frustrating

Edit: Using opera, but pretty sure I had it on a coworker PC as well which likely didnt use opera

 

Yeah I've never experienced it either.
What browser are you using, is updated to latest version, etc?

I'm on Chrome.

 

Yeah, that might be a bug.

I will admit, that I have experienced that same thing, about a few times so far earlier this year, using Google browser. A few times on Windows 10, and on android tablet. But it hasn't happened in a long time for me.

 

Using chrome all the time, never experienced it. In fact sometimes i don't notice i'm not logged in and add assets to a public shopping cart, then have to log in and re add the items again.
