Ehhh, I think its probably code for

"We want to try to convince you that this was unintentional and not a calculated business decision that was made with the objective of profit at your expense.

We want you to believe that our multi-billion dollar company did not foresee this even though we have hundreds, if not thousands, of business analysts who work for us globally who definitely suggested this was a possibility in the first 10 minutes of account linking on PC after 4 months being suggested internally.

Also our PR people probably suggested it as a possibility.

Also our legal team probably suggested it as a possibility.

But even though we analyze the industry and the market and the users, and the business, and the case studies, and the marketing, and the games constantly, not stop, day and night, globally; please believe us that we are still trying to learn whats best for PC teehee.

In the future, we will be sure to try to force you into account linking from the beginning with any future release.

Please ignore our transgressions and instead give us money. Goodbye"
