Well, well, well. I see Sony wants to kill all the goodwill their game has garnered with this linking bullshit.

The post says this: "This is our main way to protect players from griefing and abuse by enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behaviour. It also allows those players that have been banned the right to appeal."

I find that of dubious justification, but that's their explanation.

Yeah, I also find it to be bullshit since steam already has a way to ban and a appeals process they can follow.

Nah, this is just corporate meddling to get more data to mine and sell and let it be stolen when Sony inevitably allows another data breach.

Sounds familiar to the reasoning they gave for having root level cheat detection in their game.
