You would be inconvenienced because you would always know if you ever want to play Fortnite on XB, you can't, even though it very well be your only choice sometimes. That wouldn't stop most from playing Fortnite on PS4 or SW when they had the chance though. Just like how people were inconvenienced knowing even though they could still play Fortnite on SW for free or XB if they paid, that their progression was locked on PS4. It's the mindset that is the problem when it comes to policies reaching outside the ecosystem. Some were angry because their progression was locked down, some are now angry because they can't play everywhere for free as it's meant to be. I like your idea about a petition for the XB approach, I just wonder why that's the appropriate way to approach them, while constantly harassing PS with tweets and bad press non stop, was the right way to deal with PS? If that was necessary to get PS to fall in line, why would XB be any different based on their past? So if PS4 locks your account down so you have to play on PS4, which isn't cool since it wasn't clear initially that would happen, people would be justified in boycotting PS4 for Fortnite, but if XB asks you to pay $60 upfront for an F2P game, which isn't cool either, you shouldn't necessarily boycott them but instead begrudgingly pay the fee? You say you think XB has an issue they need to deal with in terms of charging for F2P games, but your also making a lot of excuses for them as to why they could have and still can continue to charge for it. Hopefully XB does it sooner than later, but since PS took as long as they did to get cross accounts/play going for Fortnite, I guess it's only fair XB be given a similar amount of time to drop the paywall. I would sure hope when that time is up, if that paywall isn't down, that XB feels the same wrath that PS did, but consistency doesn't seem to be a quality that complainers have. |

>You can if you pay the $60 yearly subscription.

>It could work but as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be much outcry.

>One could boycott X1 if they please. Why not?

>Yeah, as long as they leave my Fortnite account alone and I am still able to play it on PS4 or Switch, Microsoft can do whatever they hell they want on XBox.
