Ok so firstly, I'm going to ignore some harsh and bitter truths that this presents, namely that from a technical standpoint the game could theoretically have allowed cross-play, and the fact that transferring accounts as a whole was always possible. But I'm going to let the anger I should feel just go unexpressed since Console development is gone anyway.
Bruce, the game had this ability, and you guys fixed it. This bug/miracle of coding, whatever, is literally how you can save the company's collective bacon, by figuring out how this happened and undoing the fix to allow Console players to get over on PC. I mean holy cow Bruce, the exact solution is being dropped into your laps, and the fact that it occurred 3 years ago, is honestly kismet.
For the love of God, please let the dev team know, assuming if they forgot about this. This incident below could allow you guys to take the gut-punch that was Braben's announcement and completely turn it into a new hope for console players to be able to keep everything and live a new life on PC.
I honestly cannot believe the sheer luck in finding this, and the fact that it's 3 YEARS OLD. This shouldn't even be a discussion, this is literally a chance to save everything. Jump on it.
