So expansions dont transfer to different platforms

[RocklandRaiders]

so if you play on say steam and switch, you cant buy expansion on steam and access it on switch. Just found this out so be careful buy only on the platform of main.
Sad this to be fair ruins the whole point of cross save and cloud save what a joke to be fair.

Can anyone confirm if i buy expansion for the early bonus will that transfer or not?

Is it even possible to buy the expansion yet? Still only see add to wishlist.

So i wrote on Reddit and someone posted the offical word for it, so if you buy it from steam once its out it wont transfer to xbox or switch.
So pretty much if you play on two devices then you need to buy expansion twice to get it

The actual location of Eternity Isle will not be cross platform.
But the Hourglass staff and Villager houses located in that expansion are transferrable.
The Villager houses can only be moved out of and into the Isle on the system where they are unlocked.

I actually prefer this, since it might be a way of applying the permanent exile I desire for unwanted villagers.
I hope that if I send a Villager's house to Eternity Isle on the Switch, it will keep that irritant contained there as the Isle will not be accessible on my PC.
Donald Duck will be the first sent into exile......

Since this game IS designed to be played cross-platform, then anything you purchase should be bound to your account, not to your system. This is just Gameloft being greedy.

or the game consoles saying no to that. Switch likes to make money to, same with Xbox. So we really can't say who choose to say no to this.

I agree about it being unnecessary to make us pay for the expansion multiple times for multiple systems, but already you have to buy DDLV a second time if you want it on a second system. That is actually the standard for most games. You buy the game once on your pc, a second time for your console, etc. So, it's not like there isn't a precedent for that. Even though it is annoying to have to shell out more money just to play it on multiple systems. Especially since you can access your progress across multiple systems unlike most games I've played.

I love that concept...made me think immediately of Survivor TV show. Maybe GL needs to make some survivor style competitions and Donald might be able to win his way back into the valley. "Sorry Donald, the tribe has spoken."

As far as I know, that isn't Gameloft's decision but depends on the console. Playstation tends to lock players in their own playstation world. That's all their decision, not Gameloft's.

Yea we don’t know who did it whether it was gameloft or the platforms they are on because saves are account bound so you can switch around. It can be done so we just don’t know who did it
