Gaijin Still Discussing Crossplay with Sony as Their New Policies Add Cross-Progression Limitations

Gaijin CEO Anton Yudintsev said that full crossplay for War Thunder is still being discussed with Sony as it would introduce new limitations for cross-progression due to the new policies.

It's time for Sony to just give up on controlling this and just let everyone do it.

How was it? One step forward, two step...

Did Gaijin not have enough money to instantly go to the front of the line for Sony's "Beta" program?

Bad guy Sony, they should definitely prioritize filling the empty lobbies for Xbox games.

[gangsta_red]

Or Sony should support these developers that want to make this happen. I think that should definitely be a priority.

Edit:

Yeah, Xbox is so dead and barren that absolutely no one is playing on that system, not one single person. So of course the easier solution (instead of shutting down servers for Xbox since they're sooooooooooooooo empty) is to have crossplay between both consoles.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Exactly. How dares Sony put their own interest first and not MS's? Bad Sony is acting like a business that want's to make money. How dare they? /s😄

Cross play is now available for any dev. This is about cross progression, which has some strict policies due to the nature of how they're sold. People have been confusing the two things since cross progression became part of the discussion.

[gangsta_red]

Unfortunately Sony are still refusing crossplay for Gaijin as stated in the actual article. So no, cross play is yet to be available to any dev. But it seems it may depend on how much money games make or either that developer pays out to Sony.

[rainslacker]

They're refusing it because of the attachment to cross progression. as stated in the article, and title.

[gangsta_red]

Sony kept refusing cross play for Gaijin before the new policies for cross progression were introduced, as stated in the article.

[rainslacker]

The cross progression policies have always been part of it. If they removed the cross progression from the game, they'd probably pass cross play compliance, and then whenever Sony works out it's cross progression stuff, they could add it back in.

Sorry gangsta, but your foundation of Sony not allowing cross play is crumbling, and cross progression is still a muddy issue with Sony...namely, the MT that exist within such progression schemes, and being able to buy that stuff on other platforms.

[gangsta_red]

Read the article again and carefully and read that Gaijin had problems with Sony and crossplay before their new cross progression policies rolled out.

It's literally right there in the article with a link that also goes to the first article when Gaijin asked Sony for crossplay.

I know defending Sony and trying to absolve them of all wrong doings plays a big part in your discussion but you're ignoring their past history and what they and others have been through before these "new" policies were rolled out.

[rainslacker]

I know what the article said, and cross progression has always been part of the cross play compliance. Cross play is now available to any dev, but it'll take time for games to run through the compliance and finally make it under the new policies. But, as of now, cross progression is still pretty heavily regulated.

Hope they can get it sorted

[bluefox755]

Meh, not very high on the list of my concerns.

On trouve des Xbox dans les magasins en France et en Europe , pourquoi des crétins se sentent obligés de mentir à ce point !

Ez nem egy francia oldal barátom. Itt angolul beszél mindenki. Máskülönben ez lesz, hogy mindenki mindenféle nyelven fog írogatni és senki semmit nem fog megérteni.

Copy and paste it into goolge translate buddy.

Gamers are going to win in the end...fanboys will continue to lose.

[gold_drake]

ok heres the thing tho, people are soo "upset" over it but the minute they play against xbox or pc gamers, they're gonna be blamed for having the keyboard and mouse advantage. are y'all so staarved for human interaction that ur own console community isnt enough anymore?
the whole thing is so ridiculous.

Does it matter? Fortnite cross play failed on all ends (not just Sony), cross play is a gimmick that won't really matter much in the long run.
