But that's the thing about companies, people, groups...they can change their mind based on the circumstances they find themselves in. The backlash was massive. More than they expected. This caused them to reconsider their stance.Stop making excuses. It obviously never made "financial sense" for Sony to block console cross play because if it did and that's truly why they blocked crossplay in the first place then they probably wouldn't have just suddenly opened it up. It never made financial sense. It's not first place tactics vs second place tactics. Sony was just being arrogant. They aren't anymore. Good on them.
Now all we need is for Disney to rehire James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy
Now Epic needs to make limited time events where there's 4 teams of 25: 25 Xbox One players, 25 PlayStation 4 players, 25 Nintendo Switch players, 25 PC players (on the controller playlist). The ultimate console war battle royale, lmao. Then they should post the global statistics.
I'm excited to see how this propagates to other games.
Call of Duty is ever adaptable, I wonder if they will be next.
Stance is still the same: don't care about cross-play (but won't turn down some friendly competition with Xbox and Nintendo players), but glad that they are reversing their policy on cross-progression, that was always BS
Sony will never do crossplay because they would help their competitors.
Why should Sony work with the competition? They have the best hardware
Truly the biggest game of all time lol
We won. I dont care abut Fortnite but im excited for the future with different titles
PC player wins every time because of those goddamn speed demons that rebind their keys and can build a house faster than I can turn around
Do you guys think this has to do with update 6.0? Backend changes on PSN?
I cant imagine why theyd cave when they could have continued being dicks and ignored it
This is such a feel good moment
It's not over until it's the case for everything and not just Fortnite.Yes. It's finally over. Lick my balls everyone who argued against this and said by complaining on the internet meant nothing.
Agreed. Hopefully quickly too and not staying on this position until PS5.Ah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, Sony is still just dipping their toes. Hopefully positive support for this decision will help motivate them loosen the shackles some more.
"Return of the King" isn't much better.
maybe Epic held the Fortnite PS4 bundle hostage to twist their arm? Would be bad looks if everyone besides PS4 had fortnite bundles this holidayI'm sure they wouldn't have budged if there weren't some financial incentive, Sony doesn't actually care about individual consumers.
Xbox is getting keyboard and mouse support. I bet PS4 will get it soon as well. The days of balance is going to change forever.PC player wins every time because of those goddamn speed demons that rebind their keys and can build a house faster than I can turn around
