Why do you let us pay for the same ship twice? Just because so we are able to use it on the console version doesnt mean that we shoulod pay twice for it. Its like Buying a Car, then geting a garage gifted from the Cardealership, and then being forced to buy the same car again just to be able to put the car in that garage.
That is fraud plain and simple.
But hey, when the Big Banks are geting away with it, decades in and out ...

Again, you can connect ARC with our Gamertags (Which is broken on this game, btw) so you would be able to let the game check for purhcases that we made. But no!
Insted you "gracieously" gift us with the TOS pack which i allready own, since 4 Years now!
But my Oddy, Dreadnought, Exceslior... and even the expensive Temporal ships, which i bought from you with the begining of your TOS Special, are lost to my console version.
Is this realy just because you cant write a little App, that takes care about that simple issue?
Thanks, but no thanks!

No, this is like buying a game for your PC, then buying it on a console and expecting all of the DLCs that you bought on the PC to also be available on the console.
Just because you didn't read it, doesn't mean it's 'fraud.'
Like it or not, this is how it works with most games. If you bought Fallout 4 for the PC and wanted to play it on your XBox, guess what? You would have to re-purchase the game. There is no fraud or false advertising involved, just a lack of attention on your part.
I'm not saying I like it, yes.. I would prefer to have access to all my purchases on the XBox version, but I wasn't surprised at all when that didn't happen.
really.... this meme will never die so long as STO forums live
Ok, you obviously don't know the definition of Fraud, so I'm going to help you out..
Fraud - Noun - wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
The key word there is 'deception.'
Cryptic is not advertising that purchases transfer from one version to the next, in fact they have explicitly said that they don't. Throw a tantrum all you want, but it's not fraud.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it illegal.
It's not a "pure" online game like Farmville. You bought an item for PC, you can still use that item on your PC. You need to buy another copy of that item for your separate console account if you want to use that item on your separate console account.
Would it be nice if Cryptic could afford to offer free cross-system play with a single shared account? Sure it would. But there is no legal obligation for that to happen and if you look at this for example you will see the games are currently quite different:

Exactly.
When they released the console version of the game, it's not like they removed the PC version. Everything you bought on the PC version is still right where you left it.
Yes, it is. If you buy Fallout 4 for both PC and console, it's the same game, just on different platforms, but if you buy the DLC on one platform, you don't get it on the other. That isn't fraud, and neither is this. This isn't me defending their decision to not link purchases from one platform to another, it's me pointing out the flaw in your argument. You got what you paid for when bought items for the PC version, expecting them to be there on the console versions, which are segregated from the PC versions in essentially every way, especially when you were told in advance that it would be that way is just stubborn refusal to accept reality.
One word destroys your, "It's a completely online game, so it's totally different." argument: Destiny. You can buy Destiny for PS4 and XBox One. Destiny is entirely an online game where the servers for each platform do not interact. You can buy a DLC for one of the platforms and you will not get it on the other. Your argument is invalid in every sense.

You might read through one of the many, many existing threads about account transfers. There are many,
I believe the one here in denial is you. Cryptic clearly set out expectations. You are arguing against them. Case closed.
alright. how can they transfer my command 3 pack and Kolasi. when these things do not exist on consoles yet... which is a shame cause my only Nausicaan is on xbox.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Why would anyone expect that on the interwebs? Does he spend his whole day on r\aww and r\eyebleach?
never under estimate the human capacity for stupidity
Steve Ricossa, EP of STO, stated (and has been quoted many times) that if PC players want to play STO on the console, they will need to do it with a new account and data from the PC account will not transfer over to the console account, or vice versa.
That was a management decision and it is public information. You do not have to play STO console. If you want to play STO console, then that is your choice and one of the consequences of that choice is to give up whatever you purchased for the PC version.
You make not like that decision, but it is definitely not fraud.
Maybe... I'm goin with stupid tho.. I mean he calls fraud on something clearly not fraud, whines about something Cryptic told us months before console launch.... There is 'feeling entitled' and then there's just plain dumb.
A game with no DLC does it, so a game with DLC should do it, and carry over your DLC. Got it.
There's your argument's analogy, OP.
