I want Epic to act like adults and make a choice. Choose to be as pro consumer as possible, based on what the people deem as acceptable, or choose to go to the 'dark side'. They apparently chose the dark side. If you think that is a horrible decision, then start a campaign to boycott Fortnite, don't blame PS. If Fortnite is such a great and amazing game, there should be no reason why they couldn't tell PS to take a hike, and convince everyone who wants to play, to buy another platform. If your going to talk about numbers, what about the 80+ million people that own/play games on PS4. Have they all been screwed over? How many people potentially could be effected doesn't matter, it's how many are actually effected.

I'll agree that if you start an account on another platform, and fire up that account on PS4, and it then locks the content of that account solely to PS4, that is a problem. That is something PS and Epic would need to address. Otherwise I see it as fair game.

It doesn't let you sign into ps4 if you set it up with another platform 

Well that's a choice PS and Epic needs to make then. Either allow users of other platforms to play Fortnite on your system with their paid content, or don't. If they choose to leave it that way its simply tough beans. You could easily argue it wouldn't be much different than taking an XB1 disc like Minecraft and putting it into your PS4 and wondering why it doesn't work. If you want to play Minecraft on PS4, you have to buy the PS4 copy, and everything you do in Minecraft would be tied to PS4. Those are the rules, and if you don't like them, don't play on PS4 then. I don't see why PS should have to change their rules so others can enjoy content from other platforms through PS4.
