Felt scammed by SE

[dougff9]

I have this game twice: in steam till shadowbringers
In PS4/ps5: till stormblood

I pretended to abandon steam cause I brought a ps5, then proceeded to buy endwalker expansion on psn store, just to discovery I can’t access shadowbringers right now, I ll have to wait till November,

man I’m pissed, I’m not buying shadowbringers again just to play till November, it’s an absurd… if I’m buying the last expansion, I know, in pre-sale, why I can’t access shadowbringers today?

Really SE???

What u guys got it’s I’m not paying subs till November, thanks for nothing…

I mean...

'This product also includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs, which will only be provided at the release of Endwalker.'

It's in the description.

Guessing it's how they generate the codes for an 'all or nothing' kind of thing for the bigger stuff in it???

Edit: That or it's the fact that you're getting a general discount in buying multiple expansions for a cheaper cost

to be fair, the steam setup at best is a nightmare, and thats all steam, I dont blame SE for steams mess.

what would be nice is if I could transfer my characters from my steam account to an SE one, because I am tired of steam being inconsistent with billing.

in your case, if you only bought endwalker on psn, and the account there is only registered to stormblood, then yeah, you wouldnt have access to shadowbringers, which not sure is exactly an SE issue. they are two separate accounts.

[dougff9]

Yes, that’s the problem, why not give access to shadowbringers right now?

[dougff9]

No, i know I had to buy 2 games, in steam and in PS4, it’s always like this, I mean it’s bs but I know how it’s works

My problem is I have stormblood on PS4, I brought endwalker, on PS4/5, why don’t give me access to shadowbringers right now? Got it?

Yes, we got what your problem is. Again, it's probably because it's discounted in total. It's a package deal. If part of the package IS NOT OUT YET, then you don't get the package until it's out.

[AngeliouxRein]

I feel like I’m seeing expansion names mixed up here…or I just don’t get what’s happening. Endwalker won't be out until November. Shadowbringers is it's own expansion and to me it sounds like you didn't buy shadowbringers. Each expansion has to bought either in a bundle or separate with Endwalker being a acceptation since its an upcoming expansion that can only be preordered separately. You can't just buy Endwalker without buying previous expansions.

[ForteNightshade]

Yes, that’s the problem, why not give access to shadowbringers right now?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you bought this bundle at a discount, yes? In that case, Shadowbringers price won't actually drop until Endwalker releases since it's still the relevant expansion. You essentially "reserved" the cheaper price by agreeing to wait. And you did agree whether you intended to or not since it directly states: "This product also includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs, which will only be provided at the release of Endwalker."

Most you can do now is attempt a refund and then buy Shadowbringers and Endwalker separately.

This problem happened last expansion. A lot of sprouts bought Shadowbringers, only to discover they could not progress into Stormblood for months until the expansion actually released.

This was very predictable but it's just how they do it.
