Why link accounts?

There’s something to be said for the fervor within certain gaming communities who aggressively detest any time an online game asks players to make an account first before playing. While it’s understandable that you’d want to get to the game faster, having a “main account” that can be utilized between multiple platforms is a great benefit! If you can retain your progress and perks between platforms, isn’t that already well worth the few minutes it takes to make an account in the first place?

You can also unlock more options to customize your character within the game. On top of that, it seems like you have access to more more heists, weapons, and more characters. Having an account is also a great way to keep updated with what’s going on with the game in terms of events and upcoming patches.
