Eh, would be smarter for them to save crossplay as announcement for the next gen. If they even need or want to.

Crossplay isn't that important. Are your games THAT short on players? Besides, XB is grasping at straws to stay relevant.

crossplay benefits literally every single person, with no downsides to anyone

besides when even Nintendo is on board with it, and you aren't? you need to re-evaluate your entire life.

How?

I don't play online all the time and when I do there's usually enough people to find a game unless it's something obscure. Makes little sense to add even more.

Doesnt hinder you in anyway, but for multiplayer players, it hinders them, especially if you have friends on other consoles.

How would you even know? The game finds people randomly and doesn't announce what platforms they're using. Crossplay is invisible on your end which is why I ask how it could make any difference.

Well that's where I'm lucky. I've never known anyone with an XB and the few PC players hardly play anymore that I know of.

I'm no fanperson, I've been playing and collecting too long to stand behind any single platform. I own like 35 different systems from Atari, Coleco, Nin, Sony, Sega, a couple arcade games...

To be fair, I can easily say that if I was forced to live in a world where I had to deal with PC players in my PS4 GTA:O games, it would be a categorically worse experience.

Regardless of one's opinions on Fortnite, this really is not a precedent anyone should want Sony to set. If they don't want cross-play, that's one thing, but messing with people's third party accounts without warning to discourage them from switching systems is absolutely not okay.

DPsx7 posted...

-In the case of more obscure or older games, it makes finding matches easier and increases the variety of people you play with
-It allows you to play with friends who have different systems (this is especially important for games like Minecraft where multiplayer with friends is so much better than multiplayer with randoms)

On the consumer end, the only downside is potentially bringing in more hackers if PC's included in the crossplay, since PC's a much easier platform to hack games on. That can be mitigated by effective anti-cheat policies from the developer. For the platform owner, the downside is that people no longer have to buy their platform.

The fact Sony is holding a third party account (Epic Games account) and all your purchases on said account hostage is a very big deal.

Chances are those games won't boost their numbers even with crossplay. Too few people buy them.

Get new friends. If they don't have the same PS4/Switch that you're using then they're doing something wrong.

A good point right there. It's not only money but security issues.

This. PS4 has sold the most consoles, so they're not going to let their opponents share equal ground with them. If you want to play with all of your friends on PS4, you have to get a PS4. It's a way of maintaining their lead. Sony said they wanted Microsoft to crossplay last gen and Microsoft said no. No one likes the decision, but it's business.

Thats one of he dumbest things Ive heard all day. Most people pick their friends on more than just what console they have. They are friends with people for many different reasons. Maybe thats one of the reason. But that probably shouldnt be the only criteria for picking friends...

Obviously it allows friends who don't have the same system to play with eachother. It allows accounts for games to be transferable to other consoles. Not that hard to see that as mutually beneficial for console owners.
