People asking about crossplay etc but what about cross-progression or cross buy?

i'm more willing to spend money if my transactions were not tied to a single account. I use to play on PC and bought like 20+ dollars worth of stuff, but now i play on console (PS4) because my friends play there now. I really am considering buying some things, but i would feel a lot better if it meant i get the stuff i buy unlocked for all platforms. In case my friends stop playing, which is very much possible. I want to be able to feel like i didn't waste my money. And move back to PC if i need to.

Isn't that the case atm? If not, just wow! Are all platforms different accounts with different emails? If that's so merging/connecting accounts/emails for that purpose should asap be top priority for TencentGGG.

Consumer friendly solutions? Are you joking?

Im holding out on buying stuff unless i know its for all synced accounts.

I believe that GGG is deliberately not allowing your pc account to work on the console versions of PoE. It's a 100% marketing ploy to force players to repurchase all the stash tabs and bling. GGG is now under the thumb of Tencent and maximizing profits is the #1 goal.

And I'm going to point out that OP is playing on Playstation...the company of which, Sony, has decried crossplay in general because reasons.

Has nothing to do with GGG AT ALL

well doesnt work on Xbox either and they want cross platforming

Warning...I switched over to Xbox to play with people/friends. I had zero of my mtx and no stash tabs like I bought here....dont buy them!!! My friends played about 2 weeks and quit so back to PC I went.

GGG should make crossplay in MTX possible, even gear/characters would be an option imo, it wouldn't affect them at all, the money i spend on XBOX buying extra stash tabs, i would normally have spend on way overpriced MTX because i am able to.

It probably costs them money, as people hold back spending money, so they eventual might just start playing a different game because of the lack of QOL.

Switch out Tencent for Sony & Microsoft and you'd be correct.

If you could just buy all your MTX on PC and have it "just work" on console, everyone would be paying GGG's own lower price outside the console store so where's Sony/Microsoft's cut supposed to come from?

That said, there's nothing in Sony/Microsoft's rules preventing console-bought MTX being applied to PC accounts as those are outside their control and none of their business how GGG operate the PC version. But it would be a one-way street, so maybe GGG don't want to cut out a revenue source to make the portion of the player base who play both versions happy.

Remember, the console versions exist mostly to tap an untapped source of new players, not to cause existing players to switch platforms.

I play on console to give my wrists some rest, i read more players switch to console because it's more relaxed to play.
