Hi, is there a way to handle the following scenario:
Player installs the game, plays for a while, than uninstalls it. Without setting username\password for playfab account.
Player installs game again and is being asked to select if he wants to start a new game or continue the previous one.
Player selects to start a new game. That obviously requires to wipe out userdata.
Currently only admin API has functionality to reset userdata and statistics, and for the described scenario it is impossible anyway, because username and password are required to reset userdata. Also admin API is not supposed to be used by clients, as I take it.
The solution is probably to unlink device from the current playfab account and re-creating another one, though it has its drawbacks (leaving a ghost account that is not linked to anything).
Another option is to request all userdata (that is allowed to be modified by client) and delete it.Unfortunately, this doesn't affect statistics.
So, is it a global policy of playfab API that user cannot reset its account in a totally legal way?
