Confirmed: Transfers from Playstation 4 to Stadia are pending approval from Sony

Did Call of Duty not announce recently crossplay between PS4, Xbox and PC. If this is true, then Sony has moved significantly and more big games on PS4 and Xbox will be crossplay?
I can see what they have not moved yet to allow it on Google Stadia. Microsoft and Sony have effectively teamed up to battle Google in the game streaming arena.

You use the words factually but state zero facts, unless you know every corporations process and have them on hand, please do tell us as I'm fascinated how you can state something as fact when you dont have anything to back that up?
Cross-save actually would hurt a platform holder much more than crossplay, especially on a F2P title. If someone purchases microtransactions on another platform, does Sony get a cut from that when the player logs in to their PS4? Probably not.
Cross-play just means you can play with friends on other platforms. Cross-save means potential money lost from active players.

No, no. In the 100 millions owners, lots don't care about that.
Yep, definitively and it drive me nuts. Specially how they treated indies.
You have a funny definition for "fact". Anyway, if Sony come out today and outright says, "We will not allow cross saving....period", what would you call it then?
Pending = holding back
No = holding back?
Pending is deciding not to approve it? I didn't know pending meant no.
You're saying both parties of the contract can't break the contract? That's Crap.
One could argue it's a canary in the coal mine. Discontent over the launch XBox ONE started at forum bitching, and ended with a massive sales gap.
That said, it's silly to be declarative over the future of consoles that do not yet exist, and won't have full public reveals for 1yr+.
All it'll do is make people not want to invest into their ecosystem. Why would I purchase a GaaS title that encourages long term time and monetary investment into an experience if I'm literally trapped on a single platform?

I honestly don't believe you guys saying this actually believe it.
No, he didn't.
Yoshida underlined that he'd like "as many to play as possible", in an interview with VGR. The Japanese producer admitted having "ongoing" discussions with all three console manufacturers (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft) to try and release a title on Switch and Xbox One that would be able to cross-play with pre-existing PC and PS4 versions.
Don't even bother reply if you want to play dumb
So, Sony is not going to be the console sales leader in Generation 9 because *checks notes* "Cross-saving for the PlayStation 4 version of Destiny 2 is pending".
Ok.
He's said it once (maybe twice) and that was ages ago. He now just says that they are talking to the companies and nothing else. SE have a good relationship with Sony that they wouldn't want to jeopardise by blaming them for anything.
It most likely is both Sony and Microsoft stopping it. Sony not wanting cross-play with Xbox and Microsoft wanting people to have Xbox Live Gold to play the game.
Sony's gonna have to cave at some point, we're getting way too close to next gen announcements for them to keep fucking around
only a matter of time imo but how long it takes them to cave could end up being crucial

this is what happens when Sony doesn't play ball. they lose sales(from me), perhaps for all future multiplatform games...
At least he understands basic English. Its typical of some people to fly off the deep end because a line of text said something is pending. Jesus Christ stuff is pending all the time, like you know your payments from your bank and direct debits or your latest download is pending.
This place is a parody at times.
Don't think the title is much better now. This is annoying to me as someone who own D2 on Xbox One, cross-play should be in the title to reflect that IMO.
While it's pending, the answer is no. Treating this as if this is a just some pending short delay as if Sony just got the request yesterday is to also ignore the history of Sony trying to prevent cross-play by pretending that they have some beta for a cross-play process when the actual roadblock to cross-play isn't anything on Sony's end except telling developers "It's OK, you can do that." Which happens to be the only roadblock also blocking this.
I've put close to 400 hours on Destiny 2 on PS4 in like 2 months.
All my raid team and clan are on there. I'd love to play on PC with my character whenever I want.
What exactly are you implying here?

Lol. Good grief.
it's always a no until otherwise stated.
I don't understand why a bunch of you are having difficulty with this. Pending approval doesn't make it a partial yes. It's a no, with a possibility of being a yes... but it's still a no.
The fact is everyone else has said yes, sony has not. So because it's a no until it isn't, Sony is holding it back. It's pretty simple.
Lo fucking lSony's official stance
Good to see the usual suspects coming in to defend 👀
Are all companies the same? Everyone one has a way of doing shit , just cause 2 platform approve doesn't mean shit for the other, their business aren't run the same , Sony not just going to approve without reviewing shit first hence pending review. They could very well come out and say no after the pending approval is over, as for now it's under review.
So people can cry as they see fit or wait and see. me personally don't give a fuck only play on 1 platform but hope they say yes for other people not like me
they need to weigh that lost revenue against people straight up not buying games due to idiotic polices like this. It also works both ways, Xbox has just as much risk of losing money due to the cross-save feature.
I'm still baffled as to why this is such an issue for some people.
I mean, sure, having more options is great, but, when you buy a game on any platform, isn't the expectation to play it on that platform? Why am I concerned about being able to play this game on PC/Xbox/Stadia if I'm buying it on PS4?

They just confirmed on stream that cross save is coming to Playstation in September.
It's totally because of the exclusive content.
