"the actual implementation comes from EG."

It's not entirely EG's implementation if EG wants Fortnite available on PSN. Sony gets a say on how Fortnite will work on and with their network and it's Sony that stands to benefit from these restrictions, not EG.

There are rules they are required to follow and decided to comply. This is EGs implementation of their game. Sony getting a say means that Epic knew.

They then advertising the game, selling microtransactions and not telling their own customers that there are limitations to previous platform transfer (which is a service they provide for their customers playing the game) is just straight up shameful.

Suggesting that they bare little of the responsibility is merely you pushing an agenda and allowing EG to be given some kind of free pass, which frankly hey don't deserve.

As you even suggested, EG would have known before the Switch version released.

They knew. They kept quiet. They didn't warn anyone. They share as much responsibility for this situation as Sony does.

The Switch version came nine months after the console versions. It's not impossible for EG to have been blindsided by Sony's policy.
