See title... I have a PS4 account. Will I need a new email with Frontier to buy and install a copy of ED on my kids 'homework' PC?

EDIT: Old Duck... did you need a new email account?

You need a new email account for a different platform/account unless you're transferring your account to PC.

It was a little wonky at first for me, had to contact support. May have been my fault in pc setup (I blame my technical skills on the aging process)

End result, however, is that I use the same email for pc and ps4.

I'm same email for PSN and Steam versions of the game.

I wish it was the same account on all platforms really though. Of course, that would mean we could not buy the ARX items multiple times.

It's been awhile so I forget, but I think I used the same email account...

If you use something like gmail, don't forget "dot" i.e "." is ignored in the user part of the email address, but as far as FD is concerned, it's a unique email.

So as far as gmail is concerned, any email sent to spam@gmail.com, s.pam@gmail.com, sp.am@gmail.com, s.p.a.m@gmail.com or others simply normalise down to spam@gmail.com

But as far as FD is concerned, spam@gmail.com is a different email to s.pam@gmail.com, etc..

Similarly, everything after a + inclusive is ignored (for gmail accounts)... so

spam+account1@gmail.com, spam+account2@gmail.com would both normalise to spam@gmail.com for the purposes of email, but for a an FD account, you can (I think, haven't tested) happily have two accounts as spam+account1@gmail.com and spam+account2@gmail.com

Note, other email providers may do this... I only know of gmail doing so though.
