I wasn't ecstatic about GG nPlayProtect either (though the fact that it runs in Linux userspace makes it okay for me). I don't think people would be outraged as much if PSN account was always enforced or the timelines for how long one could "skip" the integration was made clear in game and in community announcements.
The issue I think is that Sony and Arrowhead are making it users' fault for their arbitrary change for not reading the fine print, yet they are selling it in places that wouldn't legally be able to access it after the enforced mandate.
I think similar hell would be raised if GG nPlayProtect or some other anticheat had a malfunction so it was disabled for sometime post launch, then later enforced and again blaming the players for not knowing better.
