Fortnite - warning DO NOT play on PS4, or you can't play on Switch (and quick start guide if you're sheltered like me, and didn't know about this game before)

We had no problem playing on Switch as my kid used his PC account. I also don't let them spend any money on nonsense so it doesn't matter anyway. Yet the Switch did warn about a paywall coming in September when we were going through the lengthy process of making a child nintendo account and attempting to link the Epic account. Is it not staying free to play on Switch like on PS4 and PC?

No, you will have to pay a Nintendo Switch Online account in order to play Fortnite, as you need a XBL Gold account to do the same (ohmagad, Nintendo and Microsoft are so anti-consumer :P). That's a requirement in order to have cross-play with Xbox.

Does anyone can answer me on this ? When you link you're Fortnite account on Switch or XB, are you warn that you won't be able to play this account on PS ? If not, that proves that the fault of not being warned (because that is where the problem lies, whatever the causes that led to this policy on the Fortnite account) is entirely on EG for lack of transparency.
