So Upcoming Account Lock Hypocrisy with the new Cross-Progression
So by these two rules stated in the cross-progression thread that I have copied below, loudly state an upcoming change to players in my same predicament.
I have two EA accounts - will moving my PSN/Xbox account to my other account transfer my progress or content?
No, any progress or content unlocks are tied to your original EA account. By unlinking your account you will lose any progress you have gained on that account.
Moving a platform from one EA account to another will provide access to your main EA account content on both platforms, but will not transfer any content from the second EA account.
If you have unlinked a platform account mistakenly, relinking the account to the original EA account will restore progress.
I don’t want to use Cross Progression - can I opt out?
No, there is no way to opt-out from Cross Progression.
So, by these two alone one can assume that if we are not able to merge data from two separate EA accounts and get the skins, currency, etc and we will be soon forced to merge accounts, We will be locked out.... How are we gonna be able to play? The data, the money, the time, the collection from PSN will be lost if we merge to our other accounts. I unfortunately have time and money in both accounts and don't plan on losing any of it. Someone had to point out this hypocrisy.
Cross progression was never meant for separate EA accounts.
It was meant for one account that was played on different platforms.
The merge would then only effect the same account played on different platforms.
