It wont be. The dev has already said they arent working on this at all.
They would rather spend their time making copy/paste premium vehicles rather than actually improving their services or the game.
They need to quit allowing people to link accounts if they arent going to offer away to unlink them.
Right now they have half a working system which is creating alot of confusion/anger for their customers.
Funnily enough the linking system has always been automated (at least as far as I know). Sure was easy enough to make that happen, even in the time before chat GPT could write a program for you.
The easiest/obvious solution to all this is for Gaijin to get over themselves and rework their loot box system so they could get along with the console companies and offer a true cross play experience that doesnt require multiple accounts.
This makes even more sense given how many different games Gaijin offers that all have to use your account, and if you have a linked account you are blocked from playing some of them.
I started playing War Thunder on my PS4. Later, I switched to PC, only to find out that I couldn’t purchase any packs, planes, or even a premium account from the PC store—which, by the way, has significantly lower prices than my country’s PSN store.
So, I ended up buying a premium plane through PSN. But guess what? It turns out that the premium account I bought on PlayStation doesn’t transfer to PC. I was honestly like, what the f***?
I had to use the Golden Eagles that came with the plane just to buy another premium account on PC.
On top of that, we console players don’t even have access to the marketplace. It’s completely unfair and honestly feels like we’re being punished for playing on console. The whole system is frustrating and borderline exploitative.
Every time I feel like going back to this game I remember this situation and I don’t want to play anymore. I had been playing on consoles since 2014, switched to the PC in 2018, finding about console account limitatio only then. In 2022 I applied for the unbound (at time it was closed) so from there I didn’t pay more attention to the situation (my fault here) and in 2024 shortly after May, having read that the requests made before 05/24 were accepted, I asked support if it was possible since my request were almost two years older, needless to say that they went ahead with the usual answers. Funny we have no ETA about this, since like all the other ex console player I wanna put money in the game.
This topic will be a Thursday video on my channel.
My PC will be up today(just got one hence why I’m so vocal about this) and I’d like to transfer my content onto it. No matter, next Thursday I’ll have a video up going into detail on this
The console companies arent really preventing this. Gaijin them selves has set up a predatory gambling system that the console companies (and us players) dont approve of.
There are a few other games out there that have a market place similar to war thunder’s, but the console companies allow it.
The dev has already stated they arent working on this at all.
They would rather spend their time making copy/paste vehicles to sell than have one or two people spend a week writing a script to automate this process.
They clearly understand we want it.
But they dont care. The devs would rather spend their time pandering to the newer players than improve their game for their long time players.
What most people dont understand about this is people with linked accounts are outright prevented from playing some other Gaijin games, and while we can play others (Star Conflict and Cross Out for example) IF we ever get our accounts unlinked we will lose all of our progress and purchases in those games.
Gaijin knows those of us here waiting for this “service” would gladly be giving them more money, they just dont care.
I remember the problem with the other games, in fact the first time I tried Enlisted, I was like “why can’t I play a game with the account with which I play their other game?”
I tought a lot of times Riot was the worst when comes to decision, but at least they get back on their steps and try to fix the bs they made listenting to the community, while the snail no, and it’s very disappointing
I dont know why they do It in seasons basically, but im trying to transfer since i start playing on PC, six months ago. Bring back account transfer gaijin
Because while the process to link your account is automated, the unlinking process never was. They literally had a dude manually copying data to unlink the accounts.
And its been that way for years, Gaijin could have at any time automated the unlinking but they choose not to.
Its not that hard to make it automatic i imagine, they probably would have to invest some money to make it happen but the amount they would receive in the longe run would easilly cover the costs. At least is what i suppose, i dk nothing about how it works
