I asked around, the way it works on PS4 is the pre-order content is allotted to one account only, which I suppose defaults it to the main account.
Today my daughter was asking where her deluxe imp was. I came across this thread and have to say how unimpressed I am with the way EA/Popcap have handled this.
Honestly, a sub-account is tied to the main account in such a way that there is really no potential for abuse. I agree that if I purchase a Deluxe Edition, all the accounts which list the installed PS4 as the primary PS4 should benefit from the Deluxe bonus items. Especially sub-accounts.
After reading through, and deciding that I needed to keep the peace in the house, I paid the $10 for the upgrade using the sub-account. As I only have the one sub-account, I really don't know if it would apply to just the one that purchased it, or to all. However, given the way the Deluxe was handled from the original pre-order, I suspect it would have to be the same idea - only the account purchasing the upgrade to Deluxe gets the items.
@Gorantoth I totally agree - I don't think EA really thought this through.
For me, the problems right now are in the wording, it's still called "Plants vs. Zombies™ Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Upgrade" when clearly it's not and also the lack of any solution to the pre-order content for sub-accounts.
I can only hope that the next patch will resolve the issue.
