Big mp devs have much more power at the start of next gen than now.
And its a selling point for next gen
Here is crossplay
BC with PS 1-4
AND Ea Access and stuff.
Its damage control if they change stuff now, but the timing for any meaningful gains couldn't be worse.
Still think they should do it, ateast for fortnite tho.
We see if the response gains traction and gets bigger, or dies down.
if we don't keep making noise on the internet - nothing will change.
Im actually glad Sony is doing this. People can cry all they want it wont change the fact that the Playstation has then biggest instal base for Fortnite and Sony has the luxury on picking whether or not they want to share it with others. Playstation is the biggest reason Fornite is as big as it is now. If they want to they will do it, If they dont they wont. No crying from anyone is going to change what they're business decisions. Playstation owners will enjoy the massive base that plays on that system only. While not having to worry about any other base. This is Sony flexing their muscle, how they should when they want. With them providing all of he's wonderful first party games, and not changing all of their games into GaaS, I support their decision. Now This is my opinion, and its for sure not fact. But we all have our own opinions.
The best part was when she read the tweet.

Most likely the story loses momentum and nothing changes.
I don't mind them trying to remain "competitive". But, I think this game currently is too big to ignore. Every business has to make exceptions. Understanding that they have had massive data breaches in the past (so this may call their networking infrastructure into question and rightfully so)however, they must overcome that and move forward.
Also I much prefer this(no console platform crossplay) over 24 hour drm checks. Just gonna leave this one here.
This is quite frankly a terrible post and the REAL reason Sony won't change. You have too many people that think like this.

Found the video, and he steers away from it immediately when asked, saying just that "the decisions our competitors make is in their own hands" when asked about it, and then gets immediately back on brand about pitching the Switch.

What do you mean? They could absolutely remove the game from PSN store. People that already have downloaded it wouldn't be affected but those who never downloaded it couldn't at that point. That's absolutely within epics rightWhat ? How is that even possible ?
In what world epic has the right to remove their game from ps4 after people paid for the game in ps4 ?
Epic has zero rights to threaten playstation about removing the game like at all whatsoever.

Epic is not going to ruin a profitable business relationship to gain brownie points from gamers. If they expect Fortnite to be the biggest game in the world forever, then sure they could throw their weight around and force companies to follow a policy, but I don't think anyone expects Fortnite to be the most popular game in 2-3 years when the next gen consoles come. And Epic is not going to throw away the potential largest playerbase for their next game for goodwill.
It's all business in the end.
Eh this is intellectually lazy. Yes all business goals are very similar but not all companies are the same in what specifically there upper management objectives are, as well as how they go about however and should not be treated as such.
This also true is within the same company when major leadership changes occurs. There are nuances to this.
Oof that "we have great games and hulu go ask Netflix answer" that's a no lolI dunno how to link vids from other certain cites, but here's the video: http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/5797689971001/?#sp=show-clips
This is about consumer rights. Sony shouldn't have a say in what you can do with your Fortnite account. As others have said: It's not about crossplay. Crossplay is another thing entirely. It's that you cannot unlink your Fortnite account and then link it with Switch/Xbox. Your purchases are trapped in Sonys ecosystem, and Sony doesn't have a goddamn right to do that.
It sets a toxic precedent that shouldn't be tolerated!
How about the people who paid online stuff on the ps4?What do you mean? They could absolutely remove the game from PSN store. People that already have downloaded it wouldn't be affected but those who never downloaded it couldn't at that point. That's absolutely within epics right

I'd imagine they just don't have an option due to either whatever agreement they had with Sony (which was probably made at a time when they didn't have nearly as much leverage as they do now) or they're just getting so much of their money from PS4 players that they can't risk flexing and having Sony call their bluff.I'm confused why Epic allows Sony to lock accounts.
How does Epic benefit from doing that?
Yes. They would have access to it. Just no new folks if you haven't downloaded the game
Yea because this situation here wont put Sony in trouble anywhere near what MS got in 2013.

They are holding people's Fortnite accounts hostage. This isn't about crossplay.
Pretty much, Sony, a company pretty much hijacked the accounts of another companies consumers, that crosses so many fucking lines.
This is about the accounts being locked out if you played on ps4, It should be fixed asap. If it was just about the lack of crossplay than that's totally different but it's a seperate thing.
lol yea it pisses me off how people can't understand Sony is holding fortnite progression hostage.

These companies are not your friend. Sony's first party line of games doesn't justify holding accounts hostage. Playstation players would benefit from being able to play with Xbox/Switch players as well, even so, this issue isn't about crossplay.Im actually glad Sony is doing this.

This will impact Sony more than Epic. Do you know how big Fortnite is? Do you think Sony will risk it?
