They've gotten trickier with getting your money in general, like putting as much content as DLC as possible so used copies are worth far less. I got two PS4s, so I figure it'd be no problem playing online with the wife, then we tried, ESO...all DLC expansions are locked to one PSN account (meaning you have to double dip for every expansion)!

Kind of off topic but thought I'd share this with you since it'll probably save you some money. Someone had a similar problem to you and there is a way to share DLCs between your two PS4s:

Whenever you buy something, the content seems to bind itself to your primary PS4 and your own PSN account. So your content can be accessible only on your Primary PS4 or whenever you are logged into your own account. So for you and your wife to play your DLC, what you have to do is this:

  • Either set her PS4 as your primary, giving her console "access" to your DLC, and then just play yourself on your own PS4,using your own PSN Account.
  • Let her log on her PSN account on your PS4, and you log on your PSN account on her PS4(she has access to DLC cause playing on Primary PS4, you have access to it cause you are using the PSN account which made the purchase)
EDIT: NVM it seems someone already adressed this. Seems weird that a game's DLC is tied per account. I gues this must be an MMO thing.

I'm doing that now with my kids since I got a pro. The base model is stil the primary. Yet I haven't found a solution for saves yet. We all played the same shared Minecraft world together, yet my kids can only load that while logged into my account where it was originally created. It doesn't show up when they start the game. I wish there was a way to transfer saves, since their progress on PvZ GW2, Terraria and other games is also tied to my account as it was the default to boot up with. A big negative a profiles if you ask me, bring back the save slots of before. Saves disappearing depending on who starts the game is very annoying.
