Devs (and players) getting majorly shafted by Sony. Make no mistake, Arrowhead doesn't want this either, but their hands are tied. Fucking Sony...

Arrowhead kind of messed up by not just implementing the PSN requirement from the start, and avoiding this confusion. It’s not like Sony suddenly made this requirement, it has been there all along.

Arrowhead and/or Sony also messed up by not having the country restrictions setup on the Steam store. Arrowhead knew they were going to be reliant on PSN to handle support tickets well ahead of launch.

They literally did do that. My account is old enough that linking it was already required when I started playing. It was off temporarily.

Bare minimum idea: have a sticky post on all the forums reminding people that PSN accounts will be required in 6 months. Maybe a little sticky note after you load up the game that goes away after you link.

Leaving it till now was kinda not the best possible choice.
