Sony is to blame for now allowing cross play but how in the world are they to blame for what Epic does with their accounts? That makes no sense at all.

Do accounts from EA, Ubisoft, or Activision do that? If so, where the outcry over them? I've certainly never heard it.

Someone explain to me how Sony could do something like that with another company's code and framework because there is literally no way they could.

I just cannot fathom why Epic Games would gimp someone's account like this. If I were EG, I would want an account to be as portable and accessible as possible on as many platforms as possible so people play longer and buy virtual dollars as long as possible.

I could be wrong but I suspect Sony has something to do with it. Perhaps it's incompetence on EG's part? I don't know but the "associated with a platform which does not allow it to operate on Switch" really sticks out to me...
