That was never mentioned in a meaningful way on my purchasing platform, or in the game. At no point was I told that I was only temporarirly allowed to play without a PSN account, and that the entire game would be locked down months later unless I created and linked one. Were that the case, I would have refunded on day 1.

Right above the buy button on Steam, in yellow highlighted text, it has always said

Requires 3rd-Party Account: PlayStation Network (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

And yet we played for months without it... Looks like it was not required. Otherwise it would have been refunded immediately.

It was deactivated while they were trying to sort out the server instability issues in the beginning. They announced it would eventually return, and it's the main reason why the friends list has been messed up.
