What are the benefits and scenarios where we would want to take advantage of the various Link... calls? For example, LinkAndroidDeviceID, LinkFacebookAccount, LinkGameCenterAccount, LinkIOSDeviceID, LinkSteamAccount
I understand and really value the functionality provided by the related LoginWith... calls. And I'm assuming that those calls actually Link the accounts behind the scenes.
But if we've already established an account, either with a 3rd party token or Playfab credentials, what do we gain by linking tokens to the account after it's created?
Most of those tokens are either device specific or time-sensitive which rules out multi-device scenarios. And I haven't come across any other scenarios where they would be helpful to have in the cloud. What am I missing? Why Link?
