Leaked conversation between Sony and Epic Games regarding cross-play in 2018
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
Something about that Epic response rubs me the wrong way. Crossplay should happen of course, but still.
"I can't think of a scenario where Epic doesn't get what we want." and "Epic is not changing it's mind on the issue, so let's just agree on it now."
Yeah, that explains why they thought they could go up against Apple lmao.

Isn't that what they've always said though? That they only care about improving the PlayStation experience, and the bs about cross-play meaning they wouldn't have full control over the image ("think of the children"). It's not like Gio said the "Sony look like heroes" thing.
You know what? I actually respect this sentiment in this specific context
Ehhhh. It represents a mindset of "We're going to get what we want and we don't care what you think." which is why they're currently dealing with a lawsuit.
Nah. It's just business. It's all about giving the other side some bonuses, so they accept what you're offering.
true, but it's also ridiculous to me that sony would not allow cross play for some nebulous reason at the detriment to their customers
That seems like normal business talk. "make a deal with us or we wont keep giving you the same offer"
Isn't this evidence from the ongoing lawsuit? I think it's real.
yes, if one big company thinks it has leverage, fair for the other company to assert its leverage too
Isn't this subpoenad documents from the court, I don't think it was a choice to show it or not show it.
It's business. I don't really find this shocking they're just trying to offer a deal to extend the license tying it to something else not really that unusual.
"Please explain how this benefits PlayStation"? Are they really this dumb? Like, uuhhhh, maybe healthier multiplayer gamer numbers are a win-win for everyone. Fortnite might be able to survive separated by platform, but there are plenty of smaller games that would benefit greatly and get people to invest in PS+ if games they liked had more players online vs. being segregated to their own platforms that alone aren't good enough to support a healthy enough multiplayer community.
Lol this is when the theme was Sony is the savior of console gaming and epic was leaning hard into that. Pretty cringe but I can't say I'm surprised.
I feel like some people are really thinking that everyone at Playstation, Microsoft and Nintendo are so cool, just talking business while playing video games together lol. The power of social medias and charisma.
How is it a bad look? It was the company policy and he appears to just be a messenger for his bosses. There's nothing new to the messaging here either.
Of course it's normal stuff but you don't tend to see the normal operations of a company unless you're working for said company
Threatening the terms of an unrelated engine license if you don't get terms you want on a policy involving an unrelated game....
Hmm....
Hmm....
