Sony's Lack of Support for Cross-Play - Sony continues to get ridiculed by the media and developers alike for the lack of cooperation regarding cross-play. Sony's become a villain to gamers, publishers, and developers and is hindering the progression of the gaming industry.
Sony needs to adapt to stay in control of the console market.
Talk about hyperbole."Sony is hindering the progression of the gaming industry" my a$$.
Why are you not satisfied playing across Switch-PC-Xbox?
If you want cross play that badly then go get one of the above systems.
End of.
Morgan Lewis makes some bad argument in this article.
Sony isn't stopping Bethesda from doing Cross-Play with PC and Xbox One.
"They’ve become a villain to gamers, publishers, and developers".
-> Such a hyperbolic statement. The vast majority of gamers don't care that much about cross-play to throw up their arms in disgust and change platforms just because they can't play against Xbox users in Rocket League and Fortnite. . At the end of the day Fallout 76 will be on PS4, and other big games will be on PS4, along with other platforms. Oh, I can't cross-play a look-alike pokemon game? The world won't end.
As for their rationale? Their working it. They are obviously hearing people's concerns about the matter and they will deal with it appropriately. I'm sure there are issues behind the scenes that need to be taken care of.
Of course Nintendo doesn't have an problem with CP, they want as many people playing their games and buying their system. They'll jump at every opportunity to promote their platform.
"Sony’s refusal to engage in cross-play is hurting the gaming industry, and moreso, gamer".
-> No it's really not. Software sales are still strong and millions of gamers are playing games on the PS4.
The real question is, is it hurting the industry for Playstation to have such a large Marketshare?
-> No, no it's not.
Not surprising you're not talking about Xbox requiring you to pay via Xbox Live for free-to-play games.
They really are being positioned as the villains, especially by both Microsoft and Nintendo.
