You guys are still debating over this?

It’s summer FFS, go swim in the pool, eat hamburgers, play video games, ANYTHING.

It's the same principal, that's what I'm getting at - as I think you are well aware.

And if you don't care because it doesn't effect you then why are you posting in this thread?

The MS business relationship with Epic wouldn't be near as close and important as PUBG though. PUBG is like what Playground Games was to MS up until they outright purchased them and MS wouldn't really want Fortnite to show up PUBG, especially on their own platform. With Nin it's like Epic is married to PS and is cheating here and there with Nin. Just look at COD on PS4 and BF on XB for marketing. They purposely take a side, just not entirely so they don't lose out on other platforms.

Ya ok, but what about everyone else? It's not the norm for the people who don't care or are ok with the situation to make a fuss about it on YouTube or wherever. It's like election polls sometimes. Looks like it's pretty one sided one day, the next day you have no idea how the tables 'completely turned'.

If a group of people today built an explosive device that was much more devastating than a nuke, and a certain Country was willing to pay for the rights to a key factor in that tech that was necessary for it to work fully as intended, but wouldn't exclude other Countries from getting most of the tech, and that group knew that certain Country was going build many devices and use them to hold the rest of the world hostage with their time advantage, who would be more at fault? The group that created it and sold it, or the certain Country who used a type of leverage to gain an advantage over it's rivals?  Epic is the device maker and PS is the certain Country.

It also doesn't make sense why some woman can marry men who beat them or treat them like dirt. You can only assume sometimes that the fact he is super rich and she lives a life of luxury way more often than not, must be enough for her to deal with the negativity here and there. Is it right? Is it ok? Most would say no, but it's her life and her choice. It's Epic's game and it's their choice. If they are willing to take the 'abuse' from PS and/or the fans so they can live large, then so be it.

If that were the case, then why work on a Fortnite bundle for PS4? Why wouldn't they make bundles for XB and Nin instead? Probably because XB has PUBG and Switch may be getting it. With XB and Nin getting all cozy with Minecraft and cross play, it wouldn't be crazy to think Epic see's this and figures PUBG may end up the same between them. Why try and fight PUBG on other platforms while you have the entire PS4 platform to yourself?

So basically every tweet the official Playstation twitter account posts is just getting bombard with replies about the Epic Accounts and Cross Play.

I'm just posting cause my fortnite bundle thread was locked down because of this. other wise i wouldn't even have posted.

It honestly feels like Sony got away with this one. Mainstream media moving on and a vocal minority who imo mostly don't game or intend to game on ps4 still carrying it on. Can't see epic or Sony budging on this.

It's a confirmation that both sides are in perfect relationship and nobody is bothered by this cross-platform stuff.

Why nobody is asking Epic about comments ? Where are their comments on this ? Nowhere. They want to wait till this topic dies, it will take like 2 weeks I guess. 

The only bad thing is that exclusive skin and digital currency is now worth to make a bundle,tho.

"The MS business relationship with Epic wouldn't be near as close and important as PUBG though. PUBG is like what Playground Games was to MS up until they outright purchased them and MS wouldn't really want Fortnite to show up PUBG, especially on their own platform."

>Well I'm seeing opportunity: a chance for Epic Games, Nintendo, and Microsoft to slam Sony for their policy.

"Ya ok, but what about everyone else? It's not the norm for the people who don't care or are ok with the situation to make a fuss about it on YouTube or wherever. It's like election polls sometimes.

>I'm sure there's a divide but it's never good for business to have such a divide. Never good for business to piss some people off, they might spread their negativity to others.

>I don't see the need for this metaphor but I'll play along: the country that used its leverage to impose its anti-consumer will and abduct any accounts that associated with them is at fault.

"If that were the case, then why work on a Fortnite bundle for PS4?"

>Sony's paying for it?

"Why wouldn't they make bundles for XB and Nin instead? Probably because XB has PUBG and Switch may be getting it.

>Because PS4 does not have PUBG. Epic Games doesn't have to try as hard on PS4 than they do on X1. Switch doesn't have PUBG either.

Good.

As PS4, Switch, and Gaming PC owner this is nice to know. I don't plan to play Fortnite, but in the future I'd like to be able to play my games on both PC and Switch. So this tells me never to allow any third party accounts onto my PS4 without checking to see if there are irreversible effects due to Sony's policies.

It seems like each platform-manufacturer takes one step forward and two step back when it comes to consumer-friendliness. If I were one of the people who spent hundreds of dollars on this game to have my account locked to certain platforms, I'd be looking into a class-action lawsuit.

Knowledge is power.
