[b]Q:[/b] [i]Can players use the Account and Character Migration process to move their account from one platform to another?[/i]
[b]A:[/b] [i]No. To be able to access their migrated data, players must use the same PSN ID or Xbox Gamertag credentials to login to Destiny 2.[/i]
[b]Q:[/b] [i]Can players access their Destiny 2 Emblems for Destiny accomplishments on a different console platform or on the PC platform?[/i]
[b]A:[/b] [i]No. The Destiny 2 Emblems are tied to a player's PSN ID or Xbox Gamertag and cannot be accessed on other platforms.[/i]
Can't help but be disappointed that you'll have to say [i]bye-bye[/i] to your existing Guardians if you're deciding to jump ship to PC and that you won't get to reap any of the rewards for being an existing Destiny player. Has this impacted any of your decisions in regards to what platform you'll be Destiny 2-ing on for the next few years? Or, for shame, have Activision had their wily ways with you and through the release date disparity and news that you'll be lacking veteran rewards (assuming you intended to be PC-only), pushed you into double dipping your purchase?
I won't be rushing out (well, emailing Blizzard) to cancel my order, so I can't say I'm too hung up, but I guess I'm mostly salty because after having transferred my GTA V character from PS3 to PC and being able to share Overwatch skins between linked platform accounts, I figured we'd at least get to keep our familiar faced Guardians, though I never had delusions about cross-platform multiplayer or consistent saves, items carrying over etc., I'm talking purely a one time transfer ala, again, GTA V.

I can say I'm disappointed in the decision to not at the very least allow veterans to carry their emblems over to PC, considering other companies have allowed cross platform transfers in the past Bungie would definitely be able to do it. I can put my tinfoil hat on and say they aren't because they don't want PS4 players jumping to PC which will obviously be the superior platform to play on performance wise, this wouldn't look good for the Sony endorsed game to lose their players to another platform. Taking off the tinfoil hat and going back to the topic, no I will still be buying on PC even though I am disappointed at the decision and I would recommend anyone who was considering buying on PC to still do so. Don't let Bungie tell you to keep playing on the same platform while holding rewards hostage.
