    Yes.. It's been like that on FFXI, Diabolo III, HD remakes of Halo, Fallout, Mine Craft, Skyrim and pretty much every ting from ElderScrolls have always been like that when it comes to multy platform. You're buying it for the platform. However in the sense of Online MMO's your character data is shared so long as the platforms are interconnected. Like FFXI was on PC, PS3(minor), PS2, 360 and FFXIV is on PC, PS3, PS4, and soon Apple. Aside from that you might get away with buying 1 PC software package and installing it on several PC's. As long as the accounts used are valid, all you'ld be doing then is paying for more than one account or character.

    Of course here in XIV you have to register and connect your PS3/PS4 and PC license. For XIV you are literally buying it for that platform, SE just lets you connect the two if you want. If you don't connect them, your PS and PC accounts are completely separate which means no sharing of character data etc. Granted I don't know many MMOs other than ESO and XI and XIV that are cross platform. And in ESO console and pc are separated.

    I'll keep that in mind when I grab the bundle for pc. (Really, I am going to buy a PC copy if theres a good deal for a bundle. I didn't know that detail about connecting them on the account. I thought it was just logging on with the existing account)

    Really,? I heard ESO for ps4 needed the PS Plus to run and might go partial f2p, but the console versions are all isolated?
