Pay One Time for Multiple Users
Cordova, TN; March 4, in the year of our Lord 2019--Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family friendly video games is exploring a very interesting topic after something horrible happened recently. We can take a physical copy of a video game and allow multiple different family members to play it on their own accounts. I went half and half with Noah on Save the World in Fortnite. The normal, main mode of that game. Noah purchased it and played it. When I logged in, I was not able to play it. Epic Games expected I would purchase it as well. With a physical copy of a game multiple users can play the same game without having to purchase it again. This kind of greed from Epic Games is horrible. Who expects every single family member to pay for the same game? Is this messed up concept coming to physical copies of games as well in the future?
Noah’s account is the main account. Noah’s account pays for the Playstation Plus membership so Fortnite can be played online. My account and other accounts on the PS4 can play Fortnite online. So why are we expected to repay for the same game content across different accounts on the same machine? Fortnite has been a huge cash cow for Epic Games. With greedy policies like this it is no wonder. My opinion of Epic Games has taken a major nose dive after finding this out. It has tainted my interest in Fortnite. The end product is - I write this article that reaches millions of families. Epic Games may be in store for a major fall soon with policies like this one. One purchase should be needed for one family. I hope Epic Games corrects this major blunder very soon. Do you think they will?
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
