Having a look at what I have just said, it seems I have cut myself off, the first bit was a bit about compliance, as Gaijin may not want the 30% “tax” on their products, the second but was about the players that will leave PS behind to go for pc
Blockquote you must also know that if they need an automation, that craps expensive as hell that also needs a programmer to make an AGI (basically a super A.I. thats purely for sorting)
Given that the big AI companies have failed to reach “AGI”, I highly doubt some backend programmer from Gaijin is going to invent and perfect the entire process it just to handle some account migration lol.
Automation is a common and achievable process in computing. Not to say it isn’t hard, which is why DevOps and similar roles are paid quite well.
My dream is to one day be able to transfer my account off of PSN. I want to buy some of the event tanks so bad TT_TT
Hell I’d even take just nuking my account and starting over. I just don’t want to spend money on this game if it isn’t tied to my main email

I dont see the post this is from originally, but no they dont.
If you go up and read the past conversations, where the dev described some of the process and where ai had come up before, all they are doing is copying data from one save file to another.
Writing a program to take information from one file and paste it into another is not hard, especially given Gaijin already knows how their save data is structured.
Also, ill point out again that the original linking process, where your console account was copied to make a pc account, was already automated.

If you truly want to start over, but be able to use the same email instead of just making a new email, you should be able to put in a request with Gaijin supprot to get your data deleted.
If they can delete your data, i would ask if you can use your same email in the creation of a new account. Sometimes an email will get locked out and an account deletion might be one of those times.

Yep, I’m with you on this. As I said before, I still believe they dropped the service because of their incapacity to come up with a new system and the firing process of the last months. And as you pointed out, if there really was a ToS conflict, it would have made more sense for them to just say it clearly.
My reply to the other user was more of a “what if”.
At the end of the day, the only certain thing is that, for Gaijin, we’re neither a priority nor even a minor issue , they just expect us to remain stuck in this situation.

This they should be able to do themselves, it’s a bit cumbersome due to the safety measures in place to minimize risks of account stealing using this method but here are the instructions for it: ( https://support.gaijin.net/hc/en-us/articles/115005277969-Additional-e-mail-addresses-binding-Linked-e-mail-addresses-removal-Login-management ) , i’m not 100% sure that this works for console accounts though but it should. And as you said, they can contact support if there are any issues :)

Yeah idk some dude a few comments back is yapping about having to create AGI to process account transfers which seems like both science fiction, and simultaneously, overkill.
Haven’t read the entire thread here, was just popping in after a year or two to see if the process has opened back up. Unfortunate because all the fellas are in a War Thunder mood atm.
Guess will either check back in next year or bite the bullet and just start from scratch.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! Will have to mull it over a little, it’s a shame to lose 600 hours of progress and a couple premium vehicles.
From the looks of it at least this way I can tie the account to a secondary email and just keep it in reserve somewhere so if the transfer process ever opens up again I can use it properly

Guess I’ll step back, you are right, I can’t prove it so won’t continue to support this possible situation, ignore my last, say, 4 comments if you possibly want because I’m getting sick of trying to justify something that will never come back, bye.

Nothing more true than this. Although there were enough people wanting the transfer service they couldnt keep up. So there is no way Gaijin can say there isnt a demand.
If people would quit coming here and inventing reasons why Gaijin cant fix this problem, then maybe Gaijin would.
I know the frustration, but I hope you dont start over.
Even though Gaijin is holding up this process for no reason, they definity dont deserve to be paid twice with either your money or time.

its been more then a year and this service still hasnt came back?
Ive been wanting to buy a new premium but still cant since my account was made on playstation and i switched to pc. Its kind of ridiculous how this hasnt even came back yet, Gaijin is so money hungry but cant fix something that would give millions of revenue. Kind of sad to see.

If doing the account transfers are a big deal or a hassle why not add all the past event premiums for console for us to buy or grind for it, not give them away for free of course. I honestly just want to be able to buy the is7 the object 292 and some others I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this

I like that idea, it gives me a chance to at least get the centurion mk 5/1 as well as multiple others

I am genuinely tired of their games, my oldest support ticket for this dates back to 2022. They never announce it whether their post claims they will or not. They just update the forum page and don’t post it anywhere else, so unless you’re checking every week you’ll miss it like I’ve missed their 2, 3 week windows, in 3 years. I just want to use a normal sign in screen, and not have to buy my stuff on a separate platform that I only use when I want something. I miss out on exclusive vehicles, and sales because they aren’t always on both platforms, and have no access to the marketplace so I cant trade for rare vehicles. I cant even verify my email because the Xbox account doesn’t register an email with Gaijin. It’s genuinely ridiculous. I just want to be able to play the game and use its features like a normal person. My bad for not starting on a pc 12 years ago I guess. I’m thousands of hours deep and thousands of dollars in premium time and vehicles, starting over isn’t really an option for me. How hard could it possibly be to have it open twice a year and, ACTUALLY POST SOMEWHERE PEOPLE WILL SEE THE FRIGGIN POST LIKE I DONT KNOW, MAYBE YOUR LAUNCHER THAT YOU REGULARLY POST NEWS ON! I specifically built a multi thousand dollar pc, and multi thousand dollar flight sim rig, and purchased a 1500 dollar VR headset BECAUSE I love aviation and flight simulation and War Thunder is the foundation of where that started for me. I’m not always in the mood for DCS with how intricate it is just to get off the ground. War Thunder scratches an itch no other flight sim does for me, and it sucks that they simply ignore this part of the community. For all of its flaws, and ups and downs, I love this game. But yet I can’t use basic functions of the game all because I started on Xbox over a decade ago and missed two very small windows of time over the last few years to have the privilege of using the games features like a normal person.

That’s quite a dedication to aviation, a much more valid reason then mine, I hope they do it for your sakes otherwise the main purpose for that setup is a waste

I wouldn’t say its a waste as I have just as much time in DCS and MSFS, but like I said before there is an itch that War Thunder scratches that the others don’t. I simply want to be able to play a game that I love the way I love to enjoy it while being able to use basic functions and have standard account protections.

That changes views and I’m glad that there are games you enjoy using them on. Have a good game
Because if you don’t have any email linked, then how you would be able to login into PC launcher version after the unlinking? The only way to do so is via email/password, and accounts automatically created via consoles don’t have that obviously.
So it’s the only way unlinking was even possible - we take that email and create separate PC account using it, while the original console one loses it.
