"Not logged in" link is annoying #181

Summary

The "Not logged in" link in the top-left is super annoying and it's very easy to miss the pause button and hit it. Please either remove that link or give us the option to remove it, so I don't keep getting prompted every 3 seconds when I miss the pause button.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open a level
  2. Mess up
  3. Try to hit Pause and miss
  4. Hit "cancel" for the 5280th time

I have never opened it by accident in multiple years..

Well, I hit it at least a dozen times within the first 15-odd minutes of gameplay so it's not just a one-off misclick. It's frankly just poor design to have a button that results in a prompt in the far corner next to a frequently-used button that does not have a prompt. Samsung devices with rounded bevels are particularly susceptible to this.

This cannot possibly be a difficult fix. Simply move the link somewhere less immediately intrusive or provide the option to stop prompting for a login (I am not interested in yet another single-use account for a game I'm only tangentially interested in).
