Which games are we talking about that are niche and don't already have a big user population?
Almost all fighting games that comes out on unpopular gaming platforms.

This implementation doesn't include any interaction. You cant friend, chat or do anything. The whole cross-play thing is transparent, it literally only raises the player pool.If Cross-Play were to take off, they would almost need some kind of mutually agreed-upon username service and interface to mesh everything together and make connecting across the various services easier. Not to mention potentially handling voice chat and other cross-compatibility issues. And it'd have to be at least Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Valve, possibly Google too. (Apple would probably want nothing to do with it.)
Which really doesn't seem likely.
The alternative is you start surfacing Xbox Live usernames on PSN and vice-versa, which gets kind of weird in itself. Especially when you want to start actively searching for them, or blocking them, or friending them, and you don't want have to do it all over again with every single game that offers it in a slightly different way...
I support this fully and will tweet out, but it would help to post on popular Reddit pages too.I think it's time to do it now.
It's the 15th august 2016 and Rocket League still couldn't update their game and PS4 and Xbox One players are still separated.
I think it's time to do something about it.
I've collected the most relevant twitter handles from Sony and MS and made a tweet to ask them to allow Psyonix full Xplay between all platforms.
Ha! That's awesome.

So I see a good amount of people tweeting to Sony. Doesn't hurt to tweet MS also.
So I guess this is dead. Rainfall can get supported here but not this? Smh
Of course they didn't, it was a power play and we still don't know full details.Listening to Adam Boyes on the Bombcast telling the story of how he asked the Microsoft guys how crossplay between consoles would work and they couldn't answer him was pretty amusing.
Microsoft didn't plan this out ahead of time as much as Sony probably doesn't want to do it.
Nice, we should get more youtubers into this.Yeah man even Nintendo is relevant to this and they've shown cross-play with iOS and Android at least

Daaamn that got a big boost

Lie who is gonna pay for the cross servers and whatnot. Other devs need time to get their ducks in order if we head this direction.
It's harder to drum up support for something when it is beneficial to all parties. Somebody needs to be losing out so they can complain about the idea, that's how these threads get lots of posts built up.
Wonder if Deus Ex Go allowing you to unlock upgrade points on the mobile game and using them in the full game on pc and Xb1 but not ps4 is down to Sony bring all restrictive now.
