The big deal is that you are now forced to create an account with yet another service and give them analytics about your behavior, for literally no benefit to you.

Even though this is widely accepted, this is just not okay in any case. Not when Ubisoft did it, not now.

How can they enforce a ban if you don’t link your account?

They ban your steam id and you just family share it to another free account and do the same thing.

Get your tinfoil hat off.

I bet you $20 he made that comment either from his android phone or from chrome on a Windows PC. OH NO, I suddenly care about my gaming history being collected by Sony. You dont even have to install 3rd party software, it is an in-game link. No standalone launcher like most games nowadays.
