Iam trying to think of an analogy here... imagine building a large luxury cruise liner. Then after it is completed, someone asks that it should be able to drive on roads too or attach some engines so it can be used as a spaceshuttle to go to the moon. Obviously this is ridiculous, but bear with me: ESO is that huge luxury liner that (I assume) was not in any way built for cross platform. Implementing it now would probably require major restructuring which may simply not be something that can be realistically done without huge investments both in time and money and possible even still with an uncertain outcome for success.
As for content purchases on Playstation not being able to be carried over to the PC version this could very likely be due to some agreement with Sony that Bethesda/ZOS simply cant avoid. Sony may, for perhaps obvious reasons, not want players migrating to PC, away from Playstation... Im guessing here, but it is likely it is something like this.
And sorry to read that mess you are going through, that really sucks.
Two large paragraphs and I still have no idea what your problem is specifically. If I interpreted it right, ZOS has already, a long time ago, said that linking/moving accounts cross platform was a no no. Forever. They did it ONCE for Console Launch because something to do with the data tables for Console being fresh and clean, but now that they're not anymore data transfer isn't possible. And if you have multiple accounts on the same platform...why even? If the second account is for a family member then you will always need to buy two copies of content for both people. You can't just go, "Oh my Son's account is in the same household and on the same system so you should just give me a copy of all content for free".

how is it confusing? SONY has required me to buy Summer set twice last year and now Elsweyr twice, this year.
My previously bought DLC no longer works.
I did nothing wrong.
I do not share accounts.

I have filed a report with the BBB ( in Canada). However, there was not much they can do if the game exists on other platforms and that Bethesda had failed to indicate that cross platform purchases were not a resolution (despite there being a section on the q and a that there were no plans AS A FEATURE)
You misunderstand me because you are hung up on something. Bethesda will not indicate whether honoring cross platform purchases is a resolution ( in this case troubleshooting) the issue or not. All they will indicate is that it is not a feature. If the question is open that ZOS can , under special circumstances ( I doubt it, I think they will just not do anything) then it is on ZOS not SONY,. The only thing I can go after SONY for is for ransom purchases, but I can't go anywhere with that without ZOS indicating anything ( outside of the cross platform availability).Possibly sounds like a Sony problem and not Bethesdasekekama21554 wrote: »i literally have no idea what you're trying to say or what the problem is...lol so confused

Again that is a Sony as well as an Microsoft thing. If Bethesda, and many other gaming companies had their way, there would be many cross platform purchases, communities and activities tied together.

So Sony removed your access to the first copy?
As somebody that is not a console peasant, nor have I played on any EU server, solely played on PC NA server, it would be good, if in the future there was a master sever introduced that syncs all the data.
It would require players to sync their accounts to it, and they have to choose what gets wiped / kept.
For instance, if you own ESO on PS4 and PC, you have 10 characters on each account but the max is 18, you will have to delete 2. You may even need to rename your characters if a name is already taken. If you own two version of the same house, you will need to choose which one to keep and which one gets wiped. After all conflicts have been resolved, it will then copy all your data to the master server.
The end result is you have an account that can now bounce between servers and cross play.
I think with Google Stadia and certain server/client streaming services coming, if they take off, this will likely be something they will explore.
I still don’t get it. Sony locked you out of stuff you paid for but Bethesda blew it for not offering cross platform? Sounds like Sony blew it for taking their customer for a ride.

He bought it on PS4, then was randomly denied his product due to technical issues through sony live service and wants the ability buy it again, with there being a chance of losing it....again.

How is that a thing though? If this were a platform issue, where are the other reports of this?
Sounds user specific to me. There's something happening that we're not being told about or OP is unaware of / reluctant to divulge.

The chance to buy again on a different platform, SONY is just going to keep being thugs towards me. The crown purchases, the rewards.

ombudsman... Gather those reports, collect evidence, make a claim - - this is unacceptable if true, and breaches the provision of service to you. Consumer rights.
But still, not ZOS issue, or foul in this context.
