I’ve been a Playstation DST player for some time and recently migrated over to the Series X. However, I keep my PS4 around purely for DST. I’d like to retire it for good and resume playing DST on my Series X. I have no issue with purchasing a new copy of the game. What I’d really miss is the hard work of collecting all the skins that I have, some of which are irreplaceable.
A paid character migration service would certainly solve this. It would entail a transfer of all transactions, spool, and possibly Klei reward points. It would permanently remove these items from the old account. By making it a paid service, it would:
1. Limit any abuse or thrashing of account data transferring.
2. Provide a means to recover development effort costs.
The upcoming Battlefield 2042 game is introducing not just cross play but also cross platform progression meaning items unlocked or purchased within one account will be readily accessible from another. I understand there’s a lot more complexity in that kind of solution so it’s why I’m proposing the above as a second best option.
