Unable to link PlayStation account

So it looks like I’ll never be able to buy another EA game on PlayStation again? My PlayStation is liked to a .disabled.ea.com address as I assume it was auto linked before the need to create an EA account to play their games. Sorry EA, I’m not going to give up my 17 year old PlayStation account just to create a new EA account k. 
Is there anyway around this? I’m sure you would like to keep a customer who’s literally bought every battlefield game (aside from Vietnam)
