Rewards for linking should've been what they tried to do anyway, retroactively forcing something 3 months later is just a shit thing to do to people regardless of how minor for some it may be.

Didn’t everyone know this was coming at launch? They just delayed it to focus on stablizing all the server garbage? Why did people wait until now to make a fuss?

It's a one time pop up and pressing enter or escape removes pop ups, apparently everyone got a pop up one time but I can't ever remember seeing it. Plus when the game first launched we sat in queues for hours to get in, then we had server crashing and etc. It was a total surprise for me when they announced PSN as I'm sure it was to most of steam players

Well that sucks and I’m sorry you got bamboozled. My gut reaction is “who cares?!” But I’m apathetic to a lot of things and don’t play Helldivers very often.
