I was going to unlink my battlenet account from my PlayStation so my gf could link hers on there and I could play with her on my PC but I saw a message about a 365 day lockout and was confused by that… Seriously if I disconnect a console I can’t reconnect for a year?? Is this trying to crack down on game sharing or something? 365 days is stupid. I’m still not totally sure what would happen if I tried, if I’d even be able to link her battlenet to my PlayStation but now I don’t even want to risk it after reading this thread. Hope they change this stupid idea.

You can unlink yours and link hers just fine. You just wouldn’t be able to reverse it for a year. Definitely think long and hard about it before doing it

Exactly the same issue 600+ hours on overwatch 1 and 200+ dollars spent, very upset when there should possibly be a 24hr cooldown

Same issue here. I opened a customer service ticket almost 3 days ago, and still didn’t get a response. They will probably just tell me its hardcoded too.
This will seriously bug me if I cant link and merge with the correct console account.
A whole year is ridiculous. If it were a month, id be annoyed but I would take it. A YEAR? What company wants to lose customers for a whole year lol.

I’ve been trying a few things but nothings seems to work, so i’m hoping they’ll just change or remove the cooldown time.

We need to make this problem more official. I think Bliz just ignore it right now.

Question.
Can I unlink one battle net account from PSN and then connect a different battle net account to that same PSN in the same day.
I don’t need to use my old BN account but I want to know if I can use a new on my PSN if I unlink my old one. Thank you

yup, exactly the same thing for me too, a year seems super excessive, especially since everything was created when i was younger and unorganised

Same here, logged into the wrong PSN account and now it says that I can’t login for a YEAR? And when you go to the support section of battle.net it gives you the same useless info and doesn’t allow you to contact their support directly. A very Flawed system that they need to change.

I have a similar issue. Whilst in queue of a few thousand thought I had to link my xbox account using my laptop. Linked the correct email address but it somehow linked to the incorrect gamertag. This meant when promtped on xbox to log in I received a message saying it was already linked to another xbox account. 365 day wait to link again. Opened a ticket and received same information that wait time can’t be changed.

Glad to see I am not the only one with this issue, heh. However, I have read that some people have only had to wait about an hour for the cooldown period to end? Can someone confirm this before I mistakenly plunge headfirst into a year-long prison?
