They did come from FDev. Everything I'm saying has been said by FDev. Publicly. They said it on the livestream they announced console transfers on.
They said it here too.
These are not "interesting thoughts", they are the expectations FDev has set in their
public announcements about the upcoming console transfers. They specifically said that the console transfer is to a new account and will not affect or merge with any existing PC accounts. They said that on the livestream.
There are a
few unanswered questions (for the moment) that can have answers easily inferred if you listen to what has been confirmed. I.e., if it's a new account, and new accounts require a unique email address attached to them, you probably will need to have a different email registered to the transfer account than you have on an existing PC account. Because
obvious. If you do not have a secondary email account, setting up a secondary that forwards to your primary is not difficult.
FDev is not the best at communication, but you will have more information to work with if you actually
listen to what they say instead of assuming they're lying to you at all times.
