What’s funny is you clearly not knowing what you’re talking about and going for maximum self-righteousness in your post. I mean it was even in Sony’s press statement about the issue.
You are implying that 1. This stuff didn't happen until Microsoft did it and 2. That no one would care if Microsoft didn't do anything.
They should stick with it if they lose like 20% of their user base? Even if is just like 5% in the end that's a ton of sales just for a stupid, easily reversible policy.
It is not a conspiracy, as you are saying; MS is stoking the fire.
Killer Instinct already has cross play between Xbox, W10, and Steam.
the policy potentially brings in more players than it chases away. i've lost count of how many times i've read "i'm buying (MP game) on PS4 because it's where my friends are" or "i'm buying a PS4 because all my friends have one"
I don't think in an incresingly MP online connectivity between games and platforms the net balance is positive. Considering that more and more MP games are designed with this continuous "play it on any platform anytime" and that companies are seeking to encourage it to keep players engaged in the game, the Sony policy is definetly backwards. The model of yearly MP sequels is definitely going away and people want the possibility of keep playing of these games as service in the best conditions possible and less and less restrictions.
The first two in your list are Microsoft's fault, because they came up with paid online first. Sony jacked up the PS+ price to match Xbox Live Gold's price. Sony just made the obvious choices to make more money - that is capitalism.
i honestly don't agree. sony are simply trying to keep people playing on THEIR system. which as a business, makes perfect sense. yes there is a stronger focus on GaaS when it comes to MP titles these days, but it's not like this decision stops people playing those games on PS4. it just means you can't continue to play them off their system (on competing consoles at least)....but how exactly does that benefit Sony? Someone continuing to play fortnite on switch doesn't benefit them at all. someone going out to buy a PS4 to play fortnite with his PS4 owning friends because that's the only way they can play together, however, does.
I was under the impression that Call of Duty for example did not allow for it, as my cousins told me that. But I will look into it, thanks for clarifying
An Era poll is not representative of the populace. Any tom, dick and harry can also vote without even owning the system.
CoD doesn't have cross play between W10/Steam. That's not MS' decision to make though, since it's not their game (unlike KI).
Looking at you avatar that was the case this gen as well. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
I’ve never owned an Xbox myself, I played on my brothers 360 a bit but PlayStation has always been my primary platform since PS2 even. But because I mostly play multiplayer third party stuff if they keep this up there’s no reason for me to keep using it as my main platform.
If I don’t play MP ehy should I die on this hill? Why should I protest fir the sake of protest when I can protest other things like BC or more imports? You picked your battles cuz they matter to you...or are you willing to jump on the “localize Sengoku basura please” Hill with me? No? Thought so.....
you forgot to erase you post history and the link to your 3+ year youtube channel with 399 videos ,395 of which are dedicated 100% to nintendo.
I think so too, since the very beginning of this outrage. Sony wouldn't accept to do something if they were losing money.
Dawg I ain’t trying to prove anything here lol. I like Nintendo. I spend more time playing on PS4. Nintendo interests me more but I spend most of my time playing multiplayer stuff.
I love how many die hard super fans of Nintendo/MS are using the echo effect to hide in plain sight. Sad part is it’s working elsewhere.
im just mighty impressed with his work management skills. god knows i dont have the balls to do playthroughs of sparkle 2 and beach buggy on the switch and still somehow be spending most of my gaming time on a separate console playing multiplayer games. And on top of it, he aint even trying to prove anything , dawg.
That’s akin to liking the company and not wanting to upload a video about God of War or Detroit next to a Kirby Star Allies video lmfao
What about playing the a great deal of good-great games that happen to be a exclusive on PS?
Most people already bought their consoles but even if they didn't there is a good number of reasons to own a ps4, see below.
Don’t forget that if Sony is completely out to screw over their consumers and Xbox and Nintendo gave the ideal “gamer first” approach to polices.
How many posts do you think you have made in the last few days about something you don't care about (crossplay) or is it that you literally can't stand to see negative posts about Sony and feel compelled to combat them with your own posts?
dont see what ping has to do with crossplay
Stuff like this is very important, that most who live in their 'country/region bubble' do not consider, and will ignore, sadly.
