    OK now they can go ahead with plan B where they allow you to link your PSN account to get some super cool cosmetic. I wonder what the reaction of the consumers will be then.

      I think that’s entirely fair and similar to store loyalty cards. You get something in exchange for your datas at least.

        Except now many loyalty cards are now required to get sale prices that were previously available without them. It is a bleak world where folks have to potentially choose between affording groceries and protecting their privacy.

        I really don’t see the problem, provided it is cosmetic. If you don’t want to link, you don’t get a glittering, whatever in game. If you don’t mind sharing your datas, then you get the shiny thing (and everyone knows you don’t mind sharing your datas).

            So if you mind sharing your data, don’t get the shiny. You know it will become like that shiny pony back in wow’s wrath expansion. It told you more about the person than anything else.

        There are legitimate reasons for the devs and Sony to want your psn account linked. It’s also reasonable to not want to do so. Why not offer a compromise, like any healthy relationship, and allow, not force, account linking, with a little incentive? Where is the downside to either party?
