I've been waiting to buy it but now it looks like you need to link a PSN account to play and players aren't happy.

I just don't see a leg for them to stand on here

Sony has been hacked half a million times, why should I give them more data when they've shown the game doesn't need the link to function perfectly fine? This is all data collection bullshit and the more we allow it to happen, the more normalized it becomes, the more people like you "don't see a leg to stand on here".

I don't understand feeling those things and then choosing to buy a Sony game that requires a Sony account, normalizing and supporting such practices. Giving people money is far more of a normalization tactic.

I didn't, that mention said it was potential some games might have PSN linking on Sony's side, and I didn't see any such actual requirement on the game itself. That's why I refunded my game when this started, this is nonsense and I won't support it.
