Cross-progression is a MUST for Apex Legends (EA/Respawn please read!)

Cross-progression is just as important (if not more) as cross-play in a Battle Royale, especially Apex Legends. 

What is the point of publishing Apex Legends for Nintendo Switch when you cannot keep your progress from your main platform?

And I honestly can't see why cross-progression is "difficult" when you can support the ability to transfer your Origin progress over to Steam.

    @CompleatBeet I am sure they just assumed being cross platformed people would not leave their accounts or systems to just switch up their platform because its implemented. This is quite normal practice for some games.

    While people feel account sync is easy some must understand this is well over 70 million accounts. Even if people dont play those accounts no more the sync still needs done in case they was ever to log in. Can you imagine the workd load it takes to sync over 70 million accounts? 70 million it self was made when apex launched. Imagine now with new players and smurfs.

    I am sure there will be thoughts about it in the future down the line but this is a lot work even with scripts doing some loads for them it still would take months upon months. Cause not only does it have to be coded and programmed but it also would need mass testing to ensure it wont bug things and or strip rewards / forget to add.

    So this is not just a click of a button deal this is more work at this time def from home then anyone can fathom.

    @E9ine_AC I am not expecting cross-progression right now. I am simply speaking for a lot of the Apex Legends player base by requesting cross-progression some time in the future.

    @E9ine_AC @CompleatBeet Another Battle Royal game called Spellbreak released recently, and even it has cross play and cross progression. Even Warzone had it practically "right out of the box". I think the issue is Origin working with Xbox/PS is the issue. Unsure though.

    @CompleatBeet cross-progression is sometimes impossible due to a number of problems with the copyright holder with the same PS and XBOX, they have their own tricks
