Is there a way to register console edition

[TotalRad]

Thanks in Advance for any Help.

I came here to learn more about the game and decided to create an account. I already linked my Microsoft and Paradox accounts in the game so that I can play multiplayer. After signing in here I wanted to register my game and to do so apparently I need a code from my purchase, but I purchased the game through the Microsoft store and did not receive any code.

Unfortunately not, a ton of people have made posts concerning the exact same thing. It seems only possible for PC. Which is frankly ridiculous because that blocks us out from the bug report forum, and the suggestion forum. It is ridiculous because that gives us no real outlet to report or suggest anything that will actually grasp the attention of the devs.

Just goes to show how neglected the console player base is here, which is a problem I've addressed and was censored for lol

Well then if others have raised the same question then I'm sure it will be addressed in the future. Console edition has only been for short while now.

I assume you're referring to the text found on the "What is Owned Items?" link from the "owned items" sub-page/tab of your profile.
The "code" mentioned isn't relevant for console users. That help and support page does't even acknowledge the existence of consoles. Here's a previous post I made about this (link to that topic/thread):

I'll also note it sucks and is very unprofessional that neither this forum nor support.paradoxplaza.com even acknowledge the existence of consoles with respect to the "owned items" feature of this forum. (I searched the forum extensively a week or so ago about this and found nothing).

E.g. if you go to the "owned items" link for your profile there is a "What is Owned Items?" link that only mentions Steam and then as a footnote says: "If you buy a non-Steam game (GoG, physical disc etc) you will be provided with a code". This doesn't apply to consoles.

I've "linked" my PS4 Paradox games to my forum account (doing it on one appears to have done it for all of them) but nowhere did it say what doing such linking actually achieved; it certainly didn't populate the "owned items". IMO, at an absolute minimum the relevant forum and support pages should at least mention the consoles with some excuse as to why it doesn't work.

Well then if others have raised the same question then I'm sure it will be addressed in the future. Console edition has only been for short while now.

It doesn't seem to be on anyone's to-do list. The help page I linked to above has been edited several times since the console release (latest edit is June 06, 2019 17:43) and still uses language that assumes all non-Steam game are via GoG, physical disc etc. In a previous port I commented that at the absolute minimum a sentence such as "PS4 and XBox consoles are not supported at this time." would at least not actively mislead/misinform console users that follow the help/support links; that was back in March.

oh well. I just won't be using the forums that often then. Besides, it isn't likely that I'll play this game as much as my other games anyway.

Right now it looks like the console community is the icing on the cake. Extra cash from existing intellectual properties, you know. I haven’t seen any indication that they are concerned about the console players beyond retail considerations. That can change at any moment. Or not.

You're right to get that indication, because the only time the dev's ever address anything in the console forum is when announcing new content releases which of course equals money, or to censor anyone that doesn't fit into Paradox Interactive's status quo.

It won't change, especially now that the console edition's sales exceed it's quota. Expect the only activity to only be in regards to you spending more money on more broken content. I called them out on it, because there is a thread a few posts back where a dev said they want to be more active and have a more consistent presence, of course I was ganged up on by a bunch of yes men (like peskie, who is seen here clearly defending the developer's neglect of console player's) and grossly censored for doing nothing other than arguing a valid point. All they care about are the console player's money.

I mean if EA and Bethesda can do this with all of there games PC/console i dont see why Paradox couldn't for theirs and they are starting to put out several console games and the console playing community would like to interact just as much as our PC counterparts.
