Regarding the heirlooms I'm not saying they should get heirlooms. When I downloaded Rocket League to my PC I was able to retrieve all of my cosmetics from my PS4 account. I did however need to start from level one. It was as if I started a brand new account but with all of my cosmetics from my PS4 account. Many other games do cross progression or cross save. This doesn't really effect anybody who has been playing on one platform but rather the ones who have switched. So in that regard this is merely just for people who have switched, why wouldn't you do everything you possibly could do do make a merge? If this update is for the people who have switched, I don't understand why merging is anything but the only option. Like I said before, what is the point of this update when all I have to do to mimic it is to turn of my PC and turn on my console. Is it frame rate? Or is it just dumping out updates? Or maybe it's a way for EA to have you pick an account to spend more money on. If fortnite can do cross progression or cross save then I'd like to know why apex can't. They're lots of other games that do this as well. It's not a secret that this can be done. So if it can be done and Respawn is opting to go a different route then I'd like to know exactly why. I feel as though the answer may fall under money. Making you choose an account to progress on so they can ask for more money. Free games are absolutely designed to make you spend money on them, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is the case. The problem is that these accounts have already, at least in my case, shown a loyalty to this game and a willingness to spend money. With that said to have the company make you choose one account essentially abandon another just to try and gain what you had on the other account is the middle finger I'm talking about. The loyalty was there for respawn, where is it to the fanbase? Nobody asked for this, when cross progression was first mentioned everybody was thinking the same thing. A merge. Maybe nobody said it, but everybody was thinking it. Is it hard? Probably. Is it impossible? I'd say no given that multiple other games have done it. There is either a lack of motivation or a lack of leadership at respawn and if I were to wager any money I'd say both.
