PoE 1- transfer Micro's Console to PC

I been playing PoE1 for many years now. Love this game with over 4k hours and hundreds if not thousands of $$ in Micro transactions from the shop. To show support for the game.

I played PoE on console for 2 reasons.

1) very convenient to play from couch and not pc desk and chair
2) it had the useable trade board, -didn't have to use website and trade in person.

but now that all this is changed and both PC and Psn are pretty much same thing with new trade system and controller support.

I would like to convert to PC full time and drop PoE1 PlayStation completely so.....

I would like to know if there is any way or if any upcoming plans to merge purchased items from PlayStation 4/5 to PC. or am I forced to rebuy everything and just done with PoE.

I believe you will find that is a Sony thing not GGG's fault.

Yes I heard that before. Sony is very strict, but didn't know that 5+ years ago.

It feels like a punishment in a way. That I chose the better game style for my life at the time.

Pretty sure GGG is smart enough to figure out a way to transfer paid for merchandise without cross play being a thing. they have my psn account and pc account merge info from PoE2. since Sony won't allow cross play.

at this point of the poe1 psn console and PC styles. they can drop console at any time and in fine with it. there is no benefit to play console with less player base. console was dead anyways and dying out more and more each new season.

Sony's fault unfortunately, but i'm sure GGG has seen how this hurts the community, sonys stance in this regard is why i switched to pc and sold my playstation alltogether, Hopefully GGG can negotiate this over time, one of the few dev teams that really responds to community feedback.

It's not sonys fault. If ggg asked for crossplay when poe 1 was released they would have got it, like they did with poe 2. They knew the rules and signed the contract. No changing now. I mean, if ggg wanted they could gift you the value of the mtx in points, but then everyone would want that. I think they would rather everyone buy again though.

LOLOLOLOL.

There was basically no crossplay on Playstation games until Fortnite enabled it "by accident" without Sony's permission, which they did specifically to put the lie to Sony's constant claims that it was a technical issue, and not just them forcing it. (That last part is rumor/conjecture--I've never seen it officially acknowledged by the devs, but it was pretty widely reported back when it happened)

PoE came out on Playstation not long after that happened. It was still very uncommon for games to have crossplay back then. Sony very rarely allowed it.

And, as I've said MANY times in these various "let's blame GGG because I don't want to be mad at Sony or I don't know I'm talking about" threads, it's SUPER SUPER SUPER obvious that it's Sony's fault that we don't have cross-MTX, because Microsoft *does* allow it, and if you play PoE on XBox you get cross-MTX with PC.

ALSO, the original version of PoE for PS4 (and XBox) was different than the PC version, for performance reasons. You can't really have crossplay when it's not a level playing field. (Cross MTX would obviously have been fine, but they weren't thinking about things like that back then, and Sony would never have allowed it... they're still not allowing it today).

It's not sonys fault ggg cba to rebuild the networking infrastructure and whatever else would need to be rebuilt for crossplay. It's not sonys fault ggg cba to build a seperate account system to buy mtx outside of psn for crossplay mtx, like fortnite and many other games do.

It's a massive job and i don't blame them.

But lets blame sony ggg cba to do this LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Go ahead, do a TON of mental gymnastics to make it GGG's fault, when GGG said publicly that they wanted cross-MTX for all platforms, and they have it with Microsoft but not Sony. Yep, def GGG's fault. How could I have missed the secret hidden "it's GGG's fault because you say so".
