I didn't, I replied to the correct person. This blew up because people saw the accounts were locked out on Switch after being already bound to PS4... This existed with Xbox already and people knew, but the issue only became a big thing after the Switch was also involved. This Epic fix, solves that issue.

It only solves it if you can use your skins and level up your battle pass on Switch and PS4. Some have reported it doesn't carry over progression, so it doesn't solve it at all.
(If this is even real. I've seen one person on Reddit say it still doesn't work.)
Moving goalposts.It doesn't fix anything if your character and progression doesn't come over with your character. We need it confirming becaue, as it stands, it's suggested that you can log in with your Epic account but it's essentially a fresh account on Switch with none of your unlocks or purchases. You've always been able to make a new account on the Switch/Xbox to play. People just didn't want to because it meant leaving all of their unlocks behind. This is that exact same situation.
I was wondering where IGN even got that info from. I couldn't find anything in the notes.

You were never able to cross-progress between PS and Xbox since launch, why expect it for Switch?
The initial problem is solved, you're raising another issue now and changing your focus.
But it isn't solved. Please stop saying that. At this point, you are just continuing to spout nonsense.The initial problem is solved, you're raising another issue now and changing your focus.
Okay just logged into fortnite.com with my Nintendo account and continued the setup for my switch-only Epic account. THen I went in and unlinked my nintendo account from that burner Epic account.
Now launching fortnite on the switch prompts me for a log in, I enter my main (PS4) epic account info and and asked for a 2FA security code, so far so good....accept the EULA...further than ever....then
"This Fortnite account is associated with a platform...." RIP
No, it's actually you who doesn't understand the situation. This all started with not being able to use the same email, not cross-progression. You seem to be the only one not understanding that, duder.Sounds to me like you don't understand the situation at all and I can't be bothered to explain it again. Whatever duder.

The gamers are complaining because the numerous in-game purchases made with their PS4 accounts - including outfits or "skins" which change the player's appearance - cannot be accessed across platforms.
But the issue was the same, it only blew up because it was Switch.

Why wouldn't it surprise me if and when we get a solution from Sony that they'll only allow it with the Switch and not Xbox.IGN: FORTNITE FOR SWITCH GETS MOTION CONTROLS AND ABILITY TO USE EPIC ACCOUNT EVEN IF PLAYED ON PS4
Is this true? This is the first place I've heard this...can anyone verify? I'm having a hard time believing it as nobody else has talked about it?

While most of us think of the Switch as a portable and not really a home console competitor, it's clear Sony doesn't share this philosophy; maybe eventually they will, and if they do I expect this will be what we get. No xbox, but at least you can play on the goWhy wouldn't it surprise me if and when we get a solution from Sony that they'll only allow it with the Switch and not Xbox.
"Epic doesn't lock accounts", "It's not on Epic!"
Epic unlocks accounts.

Honestly if they did this I feel like 90% of the complaints would go away. There wasn't this clamoring at all for XB1 / PS4 crossplay before for any title and that could have been a thing for years. Like I never heard about the account being locked stuff till the Switch
No worries, very easy to relink it back; I just signed back into my burner epic account and I was right back where I was 10 mins before, which is "letting my switch gather dust because there's no point of playing fortnite on it"I literally have a tab open to unlink my Switch account and thought I'd read more into it. I'm so glad I decided to look into it more because it felt TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Fuck IGN can be really stupid sometimes.
Terrible examples. Neither Ubisoft or Destiny offer cross progression that carries over across different consoles, so you can't just make an assumption about Epic when you don't even know what you are talking about. Name me a game that has User accounts and progression carries over between PS4 and Xbox. I'm waiting.
Anything involved with the biggest game of the generation is not astorm in a teacup, no matter how much you wish it to be.

I'm wondering where the hell IGN even pulled that false tidbit from. Did they just make it up?
Oh wait...yeah I think I know who you're talking about.I'm quoting someone in that IGN thread who quickly showed his entire ass about the situation.
Umm here's what I'm reading on Twitter. As always, I've yet to see anyone on ERA try it lol.
for the 3rd time now the reason bigger games don't have it or are not even on the way of having crossplay, is because of Sony. If they said yes, then we could at least see a future where these games do have crossplay
"Epic doesn't lock accounts", "It's not on Epic!"
Epic unlocks accounts.
Every article in the first page of this post has something like:
https://news.sky.com/story/fortnite...t-account-cross-compatibility-issues-11404268
Yes, we have a 140 page thread and it's been reporting on by mainstream news sources like the BBC, CNBC, Sky etc because you're not able to use the same email address on a different system. The outrage.
It's about accounts and the purchases that are connected to those accounts. The accounts mean nothing without the progression and unlocks. Nobody is that connected to a damn email address.
"Epic doesn't lock accounts", "It's not on Epic!"
Epic unlocks accounts.
Nope, this only blew up once people found out it didn't work on Switch... We already knew it didn't work with Xbox before this really grew into a 'big thing'. So this solves that issue.

Ugh was so hype when I saw that switch account unlock thread...now back to depression.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that the initial solution to connecting your fortnite account from PC to console before they improved it?If you lose everything anyway what's even the point? Wouldn't that be the same as just making a new account? I guess you get to like.... Keep your username but still. I guess what IGN reported isn't technically inaccurate it just gave people the wrong idea.

i'm not going to continue this conversation with you if you're to have this snark condescending attitude
Bethesda and Todd Howard seem to say otherwise. Bungie says they have talked about it as well.Feel free to repeat it four times if you'd like. "Sony" is not the reason that NBA 2K18, GTA V or any other AAA mulitplatform games currently don't have crossplay. It's absolutely, 100%, incorrect.
Jesus so you basically have to wipe your account. So because I linked my account to PS4, in order to use that account and my mobile purchases on Switch I have to wipe everything. That's some shit.
