I didn't know about the outdoor rugs. I've bought a handful of colorful welcome mats from Savanah, and was planning to put them outside every villager's front door, once I had enough for everyone's home on the island.
The tagline on this article starts with, "Sick of banging your car into trees in search of Forza Horizon 4's barn finds?"
Um. NO! The game has not been released. How could you expect the general public to be sick of banging their cars into trees, when they haven't had an opportunity to play the game?*
*A better question asked than your pre-release tagline's.
The account that I'm not able to use on Xbox or Switch, to play Fortnite, is my Epic account (which nobody seems to understand).
Epic is allowing this. They could liberate their accounts from Sony, if they wanted to. But all of the heat is on Sony, so they are not being held accountable for their own account system at all.
"You must immediately notify Epic (via piracy@unrealengine.com) of any unauthorized use of your user name or password or any other breach of security."
Now, I have revoked Sony's authorization to my Epic Games account, and yet, "Sony" is blocking my account's access to other platforms? No. My account is Epic's, not Sony's.
Should I report Sony as a "pirate" of my account? Maybe. Did Epic Games report the unauthorized access to my account that they've granted to Sony?
Did I agree to allow Epic Games to continue to grant control of use of my Epic Games account to a 3rd-party whom I have explicitly "disonnected"? No.
The official support page "How do I disconnect my PSN ID, Nintendo account, Xbox gamertag, or other external account from my Epic account?" leads me to believe that they agree to Platform Locks. I don't believe that I accepted any Platform Locks when I created my account.
Do we have any good lawyers that are Fortnite players? Not that what I've posted here is even remotely a "case", but there may be a case buried somewhere with this situation, personal information, terms agreed upon, lack of advanced warning of the consequences of linking to a Sony account.
Like I said, I'm leaning towards this being on Epic., and that is just an opinion.
I'm not even interested in cross-play. I AM interested in playing Fortnite on whatever platform that I choose, even if it has to be within that platform's walled garden. OR, even better, they give me my account back from Sony's grip, and I can play everywhere except Playstation, which would also be totally acceptable to me. Epic could make that happen.
