If they don't start to support BC, then I'd seriously consider going back to Xbox.
Don't care about the crossplay stuff all that much.

PS4 owners: if Sony don't change, will you change? (cross platform) [Poll added]
- Thread starter Guaraná
- Start date
Yes. And it literally isn't what you said.
You said:
They said:
I am subscribed to PS+ and Gold yet most of my time is spent on single player games. If these services increased to anywhere near £200 I would cancel them in a heartbeat.
I play online, don't care about cross-play as it's not a big deal. It doesn't even come close to something that would make me not want a platform.
If Sony try and pull the shit MS did at the start of this gen they'd be binned just as fast. If they don't have no PS4 BC they'll be getting skipped for a long time. If they have Jim Ryan go up on a stage and say "fuck Cross-Play and kiss my arse, we aren't doing it" I still wouldn't care.
I do hope the account shit can be resolved tough, as that's actually something that's worth caring about.
Same, I subscribe for the monthly games and rebates, never play MP.
And I buy it in bulk on sales so it comes down to like €3 a month.
If it went to €200 I'd cancel too but still play my games but for now I have paid for the next three years I think :)
All 3 have some policy or view on things that is messed up. It might be the most important thing to you and that's fine.
I wonder if you could even pick out 84 posts in this thread that stated they would not pick up a PS5 based on the 84 that voted yes.
Nah i dont see it as anti-consumer like some of you. But clearly you lot are trying very hard to push it in that direction. Its more in the vain of 'i want this feature because reasons' otherwise you are anti consumer like what!?
Having to pay 60$ for GOLD to play a Free 2 Play game thats anti-consumer as it gets.
But hey thats my opinion anyways.
Oh man dont make me go grab a Zingo. This "anti-consumer" talk is making me thirsty.
Why can't people just legitimately not give a shit about overrated ass crossplay?
I wouldn't switch, but I damn sure wouldn't play online again. LOL
Yeah I'm set till fall 2019, I think. The small increase in price last year was already troublesome so I'm not sure why some in here think gamers will support everything Sony regardless. It's false equivalence, nothing more.
this poll would've been even more brutal if it was there since the start of the thread.
ain't nobody got time to be abandoning games/franchises you care about and want to play because of something as unimportant as crossplay.
in fact, when it comes to gaming, crossplay has to be at the very bottom of my consideration, right below "can this controller repel dorito dust?"

Because people don't give a fuck about crossplay, they aren't gonna drop their console just because the minority doesn't like it.
No, only buy 1st party stuff or games with major exclusives (destiny) on PS4 anyways. Xbox one x is my 3rd party home now so as long as they stay cool I'm good.
Mid tier Japanese games are still essentially PS exclusives. Until we come to a point where I can safely assume stuff like Grand Kingdom, God Wars and Super Robot Wars will make it to Xbox, I'm going to be buying PS no matter what their stance in crossplay, or most other issues
Sony not allowing crossplay is fucking pathetic, but that's not what I buy a console for.
If PS5 has exclusives I want to play, I'm buying it.

Yeah look at the start of PS3 era. Its hyperbole to say that we will support Sony at any cost. This cross-play is making some people go bananas.
Its not as important as some are making it. The damn issue with led light eating up the batteries is 1000x more important. Fix your shit Sony ffs.
It's a little weird that the poll choices are so incredibly binary and the first post doesn't really come close to capturing the current situation with Sony and peoples Epic accounts.
- If every other platform offered cross platform play/cross platform progression/cross platform purchases with one another but excluded one, would you play those titles on the solitary platform?
- If it was known that using a third party account on a platform would prevent that account from use on all other competing platforms would you knowingly link that account to a single platform?
- If a platform holder had a history of locking third party accounts to their platform would you continue to purchase third party titles for that platform?
Basically, lol.
That's a wee bit different than no cross play.
And seeing as how this thread is mainly because of Fortnite, increasing PS Plus wouldn't matter, lol.
Maybe the better analogy would be if F2P games were suddenly locked behind plus. Then you would get the folks on XBO response, I pay for Gold anyway so.....
Thank you.
The last one, not sure...lol the first 2 I would probably get it on another platform.
It would justify why I try to get more than one platform.
The monkey wrench with Fortnite is you don't need Plus on PS4.
I really think that might be their line in the sand on this. Doesn't make sense when they cross play with mobile and PC but hey, lol.

Yup, I grew up with Sega and Sony and even I thought the PS3 launch was a disaster. I understood the reason behind it's rediculous price but wasn't ready to support PlayStation just yet.
Yup, or make a smaller and quieter version of the Pro.

I like that it's binary to be honest.
There are some crazy people in the other cross play threads that seriously think people are going to stop buying Sony's console next gen just because of this. So it will hopefully be an eye opener for most of the people in those threads.
My answer to all of your questions is, "as long as it's my primary platform then yes"
Sony's policy still sucks, but I'm not going to abandon my most played platform just to play with people who own other consoles. That's like bottom tier for my gaming priorities.
Yup, lol.
True. To be fair, I would like to see Sony reimburse or unlock affected accounts.
you are right, but crossplay has never been as hot of a topic as it is now in the 8th generation
Right.
I think folks do care but the question is basically asking, "Hey, are you going to skip the next God of War/Last of Us/Gran Turismo/Horizon/Ghost of Tsushima because you can't play Fortnite with Xbox fans?" Ermm, no? Who the hell is going to say yes to that proposition?
As it's always been...
As it always will be...
Around here...
We let the first party exclusives do the talkin'

Dorito dust repellent it's a very serious issue ok. It is much higher on the list than crossplay
Yeah, considering this thread is already up to 2,078 posts, and like 99% of the people who actually posted said no. Gotta wonder who's even voting yes lol.
I understand people's frustrations with Sony's policies, I've certainly been in that boat with them before. However, my feelings as to how they've been handling things isn't that negative as of now and I doubt that will change in the future. People's accounts should definitely not be locked to PlayStation if they decide to play there, but the whole crossplay debate means very little to me honestly at the moment.
Lol, change to another company's console just for them to do the same thing when they dominate sales. I'm not throwing PlayStation away over Fortnite, or over any game for that matter.
I'll have you know that this poll was devised by a member of Harvard University.
The methodology is bullet proof. Only gamers with a PS4 are allowed to vote.
