No, Epic Games is the speaker for Epic Games. You don't speak for them.

So don't ever question "authority". I'll make sure to agree with everything Trump says since he speaks for all of America. A weight off my shoulders knowing he's always right.

I'm asking you not to twist quotes or make them up. I'm not asking you to not disagree.

Depends on the dev. If the dev doesn't want their accounts compromised by any other entity then that desire should be respected.

What if the dev is fine with locking accounts? Like if they go as far as to sign a contract? Shouldn't they be sacrificed and left out for the greater good?

If they're fine with locking accounts then there's no issue between dev and platform though I expect the player base not being as happy with that.

EG does not strike me as the company that is okay with Fortnite accounts being restricted like they are currently.

If it's pro-consumer then yes.

See above. I'm also not sure why others version of pro consumer is less important or correct than yours. Do you speak for them?

No I do not speak for them but I am perfectly able to disagree with what they define as pro-consumer.

In which of these links did they say "they hated exclusivity and weren't going to do that"?

Not sure where those quotations came from because they weren't there before. If you can't compare what was said in those articles to that then there is no point in arguing.

It came from one of your posts:

Well they also said they hated exclusivity and weren't going to do that, and they followed through, or wait, they actually locked down PUBG and 4 third party studios and more. Ok but they definitely mentioned a big reason to get XB1X would be for VR soon when ready, and their working on that, or wait, they aren't bothering with it at all anymore...

PS is doing Epic Games no favors by abducting EG accounts and blocking cross-play.

Is Epic doing PS any favors by trying to renege on their agreed upon terms? Is PS saying publicly they will retaliate on Epic like Epic is on PS? Allowing them to put Fortnite on PS4 and sell micro transactions wasn't helping either? PS did agree to that but obviously requested locking down accounts and cross play in return. Do platforms have no rights? Maybe just timed rights like timed exclusivity?

PS is fully able to enforce these policies of theirs. It's their platform after all. Just the same, people are able to protest and criticize it as anti-consumer as they please. EG is free to say that they want cross-play and cross-access as well.
