Game center account v. Apple ID account

Is there a way to delete--not just sign out-- of an old game center account? I am annoyed that Apple turns this account back on after some updates. I don't use it any more and just want it gone. it is possible to do this w/o deleting my entire Apple ID?

Hello Mobabb,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We see you'd like to remove and delete a Game Center account without deleting your Apple ID. We'd like to assist.


On your Mac, open System Preferences > Internet Accounts. Can you select your Game Center account and remove it there?


We have additional information here: Use Game Center to play with friends


Have a nice day.
