How can I get rid of Game Center permanently?

I deleted the account on my Mac. I turned it off in iOS15.


Every time I want to play a game, the Mac or the iPhone bothers me to sign in. I can cancel every time but I cannot stop it from asking. I see no purpose to this at all.

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 12.0

Deleting my Apple ID is not a reasonable solution. I need that Apple ID for multiple things - like posting here, connecting to the cloud, getting software...

This is something that, for me, serves no purpose and is very annoying.


Your choices here are to delete your Apple ID, or to ignore the Game Center chatter.


There is presently no means to do what you want; to keep your Apple ID, to play games, to not see Game Center chatter.


You can also choose to let Apple know your opinion here too; to log your feedback with Apple.

This seems be contradicted in later posting is it not ?


So which is right ?
