@Deni_Demolish EA is not required to tell you that your progression will be locked to one account. If you feel you've been taken advantage of, I see that as your own fault for assuming you'd be able to transfer progress in the first place.

You’re accusing me of being ignorant to information that isn’t disclosed.
The problem is that they imply cross-progression is possible by advertising the game as being playable on multiple platforms. Like you suggested, them “telling us” that our progress would be locked to one account WOULD be a great way for them to not be legally liable, but that isn’t the case, is it?

  @Deni_Demolish They don't imply that at all. All they are telling you is that the game is available to play on all those different platforms. I would never assume that this means you can transfer progress across all of them unless it specifically says so.

    The point is, to many people, the game being “available” on so and so platform also directly means your purchases will be available on all the listed platforms.
    Another example can be a parent who does not play this game but is making purchases for their child will read the marketing material, will read the legal document and will have been successfully deceived into believing their potentially large purchases will be available on those platforms.

Fanboy logic. You shouldn't expect publishers not to be greedy * and use unethical business practices. Just deal with it.
