Even if it means the consumer ends up getting shit on.

"maybe a one time minuscule payment to get the account off PS4 for good"

I'm not holding my breath on that one-time payment, or rather, ransom paid to Sony because that's what this is for some Fortnite players: a hijacking of their EG account. I think Sony would prefer to just hold on to those accounts and make money off of the micro-transactions.

As for the payback, I stand by it. If PS had just rolled over and died after PS3, we would all be stuck with the XB1 as it was when it launched, and you can bet it's policies would have gotten even worse as the gen went on.

And now we're stuck with Sony and all their increasingly anti-consumer policies.

XB slapped PS around with the 360. PS is slapping XB around with the PS4. Hopefully this is enough for both beaten and bruised soldiers to call a truce for PS5 and XB Scarlet.

Not if one comes out ahead of the other and feels arrogant enough as a result.

I think more likely PS would rather go for the other option of primary and secondary accounts if Epic can swing it. If not, I don't see PS completely turning a blind eye unless they have a hardware option on deck to solve the mobile issue. I'm sure there are plenty of other possibilities I haven't thought of though.

I don't see Sony reversing course either. They're the big dog and now they screw the consumer over from time to time.

I need Microsoft to hit Sony where it hurts any chance it gets.
