Re-enforcing it after demonstrating it clearly works without makes it look scummy and greedy.

Day 1 policy was that PSN linking was mandatory. Arrowhead execs knew this. Players who bought the game in non-PSN countries should have gotten a pop-up banner saying as much instead of the payment screen.

Im not even sure if the game would have taken off at all. Psn servers couldn't handle the load which is Why it was disabled ( temporarily ) in the first place.

A lot of people, including myself, never even linked the psn because I could skip it.
