All the bonuses you get from the digital deluxe version are locked in the console and once you link the account to another console it’s all lost and makes you start from 0. Basically paying a premium for 4 days of early access. No where in there marketing is this mentioned only that stubs brought in one console won’t transfer to another but all in game content will. Which is a lie since none of the cards you get transfer.

This is the email i received from sds

Thank you for the email! Please understand you will be unable to transfer preorder bonuses from Switch to other consoles.
We regret any confusion you may have experienced. For clarification, the way our account linking works is you will have to chose what is called a survivor account. Unfortunately if you have made game progression on multiple platforms they do not combine. You have the option to select which progression you would like to continue and all other platforms will take on this same progression point. Unlinking your accounts reverts each account back to its original position before the linking occurred. This is why you will see your items return once you are unlinked.

It’s amazing that they do not care they should have made this crystal clear during the Nintendo stream instead they kept there mouth shut so ppl would buy the digital deluxe version. This is such a shady bad look for this company.

Unlink your account. And then when you go back in to link it make sure you select that has the stubs and packs.

And they said before that any stubs bought on a particular console would only be available on that console.

Yes i understand that but it’s not mentioned anywhere that pre order packs are also not transferable. Which is so dumb bc why on earth would i want cards that will only stay on 1 console? At the end of the day this was sds fault for not being upfront and clear.

I barely come on these forums anymore bc SDS does not care what we have to say but my god i just have to vent. I’ve been playing this game since the 989 days so I’ve seen every version of this game. Ever since 17 when they came up with this engine this game has been on a steady decline with this year feeling like the sh*t hit the fan. I know they say hitting works as intended And if so my god do they need to hire a new team. I just played a game in a created stadium where no matter where i threw the ball my opponent would simply foul it off to stay alive, early,late,good it didn’t matter they all found holes. I know this game will never be a true sim but this is not it. As someone who usually plays year round i have barely played 60 RS games which has always been my main mode I just can’t bring myself to play this alot anymore. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk i know nothing will happen just had to vent lol.

I apologize I didn't actually realize what you were stating and after reading other people's post about this I understand what you're saying.

It seems like it may be an error that they may need to investigate.

All good bro this whole thing is confusing and there’s no one to blame but sds it all comes back to communication which they have been lacking for some years now.
