  • SonyOfLastation Rockman Xelnia (@SonyOfLastation) reported

    Not to mention if the problem was with Sony, then what about games like Fortnite that don't have that issue? Why would Sony restrict Genshin, a game they have given full blessings to, even a ******* crossover collab, and not every other cross-progression game?

    @MajimaQuotes @FortniteGame If it was added I wouldn't mind tbh, I don't get why some people straight up say no to this idea. In Fortnite if you don't like a skin, don't buy it. Problem solved.
