It was. PSN linking was available day one, and they disabled it temporarily when the traffic was too much for the auth server to handle. Not reading doesn't mean the requirement wasn't communicated to you.

100% it wasn't communicated to users as the experience did not require it. For 3 months.

This is a policy CHANGE. Hence the need for an announcement

Quite literally was talked about in patch notes and mentioned on the storefront pages where it was available.

If it wasn't a change, why the need for an announcement?

The service was decoupled when auth servers couldn't handle traffic the first few days. A good number of people, myself and my static included, DID already link PSN accounts. Mine is registered from the bahamas. I do not live in the bahamas.
