You made the point about locking the Fortnite accounts down, which locked you into a PS4 for good basically, but you also thought PS was anti consumer for not allowing cross play and cross accounts, which meant you would have to spend $299 on a PS4, to be able to play with your friends within the PS ecosystem.

Yet you are now ok with XB locking you into a $60 paywall to be able to play FREE games like Fortnite? What about if you've already spent $1000 on digital games, etc, within the XB ecosystem? How is that any different than if you've spent $1000 on Fortnite micro transactions that 'should be' cross platform account playable? What about if your favorite game franchise is Halo, yet you would also really like to play Fortnite, but you can't afford $60 for online, let alone $299 for another platform? Wouldn't making that existing XB customer choose to give up Halo, or their vast XB game collection, be anti consumer? All PS was doing was making you choose to join their ecosystem right? How is it any different?

>Where did you get the idea I was okay with XB locking f2p games behind their paywall? I'm not.

No but everyone has their price. If someone isn't cool with XBox policy, I advise they go to PS, Switch, or PC. If someone is okay with it, who am I to tell them how they should spend their money?

Everyone has their price? If you don't like XB policies just leave? Who are you to tell them how to spend their money? Wasn't it you who was voicing your opinion because it's your right to do so, that PS should unlock accounts and open up cross play? Why didn't you just deal it instead?
