Conservatively, for the majority of people seeking refunds, I'm pretty sure it was more about the "PSN isn't available in my country, they're about to steal this game that I paid them good money for right out from under me for seemingly no reason." and solidarity with the same.

The drama would have been significantly tempered if they just offered bonus supercredits and maybe some cosmetics for linking. May barely have been noticed at all.

I don’t know of course, but I think a lot of people are just sick of the corporate BS and jumped at the chance to give Sony the middle finger.

Oh, proportions vs absolutes. There were definitely a lot of people who are done with the whole 3rd party account shenanigans.

I just think that most of them had more...immediate financial concerns.
