This would be true only for the sales and only if Gaijin was selling us stuff behind the backs of the console companies. Which since they arent, and it wouldnt matter once our accounts were transferred.
The console companies cant stop them from transferring our accounts, all of this BS stems literally from Gaijin not fixing what is solely their issue to fix. The claim they dont have the manpower to fix this, but some how they have enough people to make a new game (Aces of Thunder) which will be a direct competitor to War Thunder.
They cleared out the back log late last year.
They are not just losing out on War Thunder sale, but on sales on all of their other games as well. If you play/pay into their other titles like Star Conflict, or Cross Out, on PC you will loose all of your progress and purchases during the transfer. Which means if you dont like throwing your time and money into a trashcan, you dont bother to play the games. And then there’s Enlisted, which you cant even play at all.
My issue isnt with how chat GPT can do it, which it probably could given how advanced it is, but my issue is the fact that I could do it. I took multiple coding classes, and I’m fairly certain that a single person could do it in a week, let alone a team of 3-4 people. And yes, there are more urgent issues, like fixing armor, nerfing more vehicles that don’t need to be instead of fixing maps, and issues like this that affect more than 1/8th the player population.
Ya know… Thinking on it and what I know of the process from what the dev had said here, there shouldnt be any need to copy data or create a new account with it at all.
When you sign up and play on console it seems the console companies are the main holders of your “save data”, gaijin doesnt have it (or maybe not all of it) at first. When you link your account is when gaijin gets a full copy of the data and basically mirrors it on their own servers for use on PC.
When looking to “transfer” your linked account away from console, currently they are creating a “new” pc account with your same email and transferring/copying the data over from your console linked account, then deleting the PC account that was created in the link.
So, my thoughts are that since the linking creates a PC account, that account has to have some sort of flag, or tether, to the console account so they can update each other as you play on either console or PC.
The flag/tether could just be removed. Then the account wouldnt be linked anymore giving you 2 separate accounts, and finally they would just have to update the permissions on the PC account to give you back the access you need.
It’s been nearly two years since then. I’m a bit curious if you’ve managed to handle all the huge number of work orders you received during the last open period?）
In 2 years the devs couldve easily already done them, but theyre too focused on adding trashy premiums which nobody will buy rather than doing anything actually useful.
they have the man power… because they swim on Money. they just dont want to bring it back. Clear as water. For example, this Mig29 Sniper. Copy pasta and charging 80 Euros, more than a Full game AAA. Just for a copy pasta recolored. And is gonna be a best seller. They have money = manpower for build a Exoplanet.
we should all just down vote the game to hell on everything with messages to get this working it worked last time when we wanted the economy fixed in game
In fact, I’m more concerned about a clear answer: I can accept them saying “this service is permanently closed and won’t be turned on again, you can give it up” or “we’ll turn it on before the time (maybe a few months or maybe a year or I can accept it)”, but I can’t accept that they always say “maybe it will be restored at some point”, which sounds like a guy saying to her pregnant girlfriend, “Maybe we might get married someday in the future” instead of “Let’s break up” or" Our wedding is set on a certain day" (
I get it, but this is how Gaijin treats everything they do. They just do what they want and dont really care about what happens afterward. Look at what they do with the game as a whole, repeatedly spouting off about how historical the game is, while at the same time putting in vehicles/models they knew right from the beginning wasn’t historical at all.
It really sucks that we can play our console accounts on PC but still can’t buy premium packs or use the marketplace. A lot of us have spent years on this game and just want the full experience on PC without starting over. Please bring back the unlinking process. It would mean a lot to longtime players.
i would love to transfer I’ve been playing on this account since the closed xbox beta.i have so much time logged but I’ve been trying to transfer and I’m genuinely confused why gaijin isn’t dedicating man power to this issue this thread has over a thousand replies and is making the need for this obvious.
same here I have played around 6-7 years on 2 dif accounts my PSN account got banned and I could no longer buy packs on PS4 and had to make a new account bc I wanted other stuff so now this account is around 4-5 years old and I cannot even use the market if I could use the market I would be doing every event tbh so I could sell things but nope all bc gaijin devs do nothing took them what 2 years to fix the economy with changes that I think could have been done by a team of 20 or less devs in like a month
(reason I stayed on this psn account was bc by the time I had pc I already bought the tiger 2 H sla and did not want to spend more buying it again so here I am years later with most tech trees at least half done and 3 with top tier in ground and almost 4 for air)
Ive read it all all 1068 replies at the time of commenting. It appeared to me that all we get is waitig. I missed last years transfer and now im hoping for it to happen this year this summer proably wont because of “urgent tasks” like c’mon there are poeple in the forum saying they cpuld do it. We all know you have enough time and money for it i dont want no excuse that we all got just a good explenation why. Its annoying to wait and no response and there are multiple AI’s that can code and program better then gpt but for a verry small price. If the devs or someone else read it you know pay now and get long term profit thats how buisness works i do buisnes and ik how i works i dont think you are that lazy just you dont want to because you think its not going to work or just scared to do it im trying to check on the forums reguraly from now truoght the summer and hope we players can get some info.
peace out.
i have and will spend money on this game i just wish they would give the option hell id pay to have it tranfered to pc like up to a pretty little bit at this point.
