This one was kinda easy, but bless him all the same.
Don't you guys think it can have to do with micros transactions ? Don't wants all the skins and stuff money .... no you can buy a skin on Xbox and use it on switch for exemple. Of course it sux but maybe ?
No you can't. Linking your Epic account with your PS4 is like a permanent disease. Once it's been linked once, there's no way to undo the damage. Unlinking it won't fix the issueSo.. can I unlink PS4 from my Epic account, and then play on Switch and Xbox?
Can someone verify this? I don't want to lose my progress.
No, unlinking will not unlock the other platforms for use thanks to Sony.So.. can I unlink PS4 from my Epic account, and then play on Switch and Xbox?

But I can share the same account between PS4, PC and IOS (I use all three). This shares my entire progress and inventory.
It is just PS4 -> XB and Switch that is the problem.
Once you play on PS4, you are locked to that console for all other consoles.

I've been doing this for a while now, not because of crossplay but because sony has yet to convince me any purchases I make this gen will play on the ps5. I have been buying all my games on pc or Xbox becsuse of this.The best way to send a message would be to encourage a boycott of any purchases on PS4. If you were planning on making a purchase, make it on pc or mobile instead so Sony doesn't get a cent.
Oh Sony blow too, but this is on Epics stupid system too, if you delink your PSN account, it shouldn't keep you locked from the Switch or Xbox One.
I'm totally fine with unlinking my PSN and getting away from Sonys shitty isolation, but I can't even do that due to Epic's system.
Even though you can use that same account on PC or iPhone and buy stuff there and do the same thing.
Just pay the fee and be happy. Why would Sony give away their whole playerbase to the rest? Sony got more than enough players to be on the top, baby!
That isn't how it works. Even if you de-link your PSN account, you're still locked from ever playing on the Switch or Xbox with it.You can, Sony just isn't letting you keep any of your shit that you earned or bought. I say Sony, because it makes absolutely no sense for epic to wipe progress on disassociating accounts. And their little disclaimer says that they can't do anything about it.
not great and the framerate is horrible, closer to the mobile versionDidn't have the time to download it. How does it looks in comparison with other consoles?
Fanboys will be fanboys. Look on the brightside, at least there's no way you'll ever encounter him in Fortnite unless you're playing the PS4 version. Sounds like a win to me.People defending mega corporations.... I'll never understand. I can all but guarantee that the playerbase on pc/Xbox/switch/Mobile is much bigger than the playerbase just on ps4.
There's other people on reddit saying that didn't work?HOLY SHIT THIS WORKED. As seen on reddit - I just unlinked my PSN account from my main EPIC account that was also linked with Xbox. I then linked my PSN it to a new EPIC account that i just made. Finally, i was then able to link my Switch account with my Xbox on the original EPIC account.
ALL PROGRESS AND SKINS ARE AVAILABLE ON BOTH SYSTEMS. I logged into both my Switch and Xbox and all of my stuff is there.
So yeah, its confirmed, if you unlink your PSN, then create a new EPIC account and link it with your PSN, you can go back to your original EPIC account and link your Switch.
Whoa, really? Ok damn, well I unlinked my PSN account from my Epic account but obviously that didn't help me so I just had to create a new Epic account for Switch. So you're telling me I can link my PSN account to a new Epic account and then link my Nintendo account to my original Epic account and all my PS4 progress and shit will transfer over to Switch?!HOLY SHIT THIS WORKED. As seen on reddit - I just unlinked my PSN account from my main EPIC account that was also linked with Xbox. I then linked my PSN it to a new EPIC account that i just made. Finally, i was then able to link my Switch account with my Xbox on the original EPIC account.

You are talking about the lack of crossplay. That is not what people are so upset about here, The problem is that if (for example) you bought content on PC (NOT on PS4) and even once played with that account on PS4, the content you bought elsewhere is now locked to PS.Even though I don't like it, I can understand Sony's stance on refusing crossplay between the PlayStation and other consoles. I don't doubt that they believe ceding this aspect to their direct competition is dangerous when considering that Microsoft and (probably) Nintendo are much more financially stable and can afford some, "sharing of the ecosystem."
That said, this kind of behavior is absolutely bullshit, and it won't take many of these sorts of moves to poison their relationship with a fair bit of their customer base.

Because it makes owning their platform more attractive. And it brings more strain on the PSN possibly?

wtf? I dont understand.No matter if you prefer Halo over Zelda, or if you think Mario Kart is better than Forza or Wipeout, everyone should have a chance to play with eachother. So I think Sony should allow it.
However, Sony should get 1 dollar per user, per month from their competitors. This money should go into the PS Network, to have an even beter service. Or maybe put that money towards the development for a new indie title which would be created for PS+. Or maybe give it to charity. I don't know. MS or Nintendo should pay for the gesture, because that brings value to their platforms, and it inspires them to create a compelling ecosystem for their users to invest in, so that one day, all platforms have the same userbase, not needing to piggyback on the big generational winner for player, but all contributing to 1 big online pool.
My 2 cents.
Be careful. Quite possible this is someone messing with people to get them to delink and lose all their stuff. I'd wait for a lot of verification of this before trying it yourself.
I didn't think it actually wiped progress on your account anyway, just on your PSN, which makes sense because you're removing it.Be careful. Quite possible this is someone messing with people to get them to delink and lose all their stuff. I'd wait for a lot of verification of this before trying it yourself.
If you're on console, you won't match up with PC players unless you choose to join a friend on PC, and vice-versa.
Right, that's what I was trying to say but I could've worded it better. Sony actively blocking a third-party user account from being useable elsewhere is 100% fucking despicable, especially when purchases were made with that third-party account.You are talking about the lack of crossplay. That is not what people are so upset about here, The problem is that if (for example) you bought content on PC (NOT on PS4) and even once played with that account on PS4, the content you bought elsewhere is now locked to PS.
dudeSony built it's PS4 player base through being all about games, allowing switching HDDs, not forcing media player costs on the players, nor Kinect or whatever, which is why they are at 80+ consoles sold with about 50+ million online users; more than It's console competitors combined, and doubled.
The PS4 online player base is not what their competitors DESERVE, however, it's what their competors' players NEED right now.
As a PS4 player I want the best games, and the best online. I am in no need for more online people to play against, however: I feel sympathy for gamers of competing platforms. They deserve a big player base as well, even if the companies which they support did not build that this generation, all gamers in my mind are just that; gamers. And all gamers are created equal.

TLDR:
-All gamers are created equal and deserve access to Sony PS4 online player base
-Their competitors should pay for this access as it brings value to their platforms
-It would be even better if all 3 platforms in the future are equally as strong as every company would benefit
