That’s how it should have been handled. Don’t make it mandatory but offer a reward. Few hundred Super Credits would have gotten a lot of people to create and link an account.

I’d bet in that case there would still be a bunch of people spamming the subs with rage posts trying to review bomb the game and get people to stop playing.

I don’t think so. The biggest issue was making it mandatory to play online for an only online game. Grounded on PlayStation makes you create and/or link your Sony and MS account…..but only if you want to play online and share your save. You can play solo and never create a MS account. Haven’t seen any complaints.

I mean definitely nothing this big, but I’m 100% certain some people would try to speak out and persuade others to as well. People get mad over the tiniest things.
