New players will need to link both accounts on May 6, but existing players have until June 4 before the requirement takes effect. Sony says that forcing people to link to a PSN account helps “protect players from suffering and abuse by enabling the banning of players who engage in that type of behavior.” Ah, the popular “ few bad apples.”
