Old PSN account unkinked

So I linked my PS account years and years ago. I mostly playing pc so I don't care about any old PS account game progress or anything. But this means I can't link my new account...ever? That's insane to me. I can't seem to get hold of anyone who can sort this issue on Sony side or EA side at all. 

I don't know if there is a solution but having a lifetime link seems unnecessary and massively consumer unfriendly 

  • Hi gorsoran​

    The lifetime link is designed to protect against malicious activity and performance issues, but I totally get how it can feel a bit restrictive when you want to make changes.

    While you can remove the old PSN link if you'd like, it won't free up the EA account to connect a new PSN account in its place. 

    I wish I had better news for you. If you've picked up some EA games on your new PSN and want to play them online, you can connect your PSN to a new EA account. It does mean having separate EA accounts, one for PC and one for the new PSN.
