In majority of cases this wouldn't be true because they will still have to pay a PS4 because things like cross platform parties(Voice/online play) won't be a common thing because of the cost related to setting up and maintaining those services.Because once you open the gates you can't close it. Minecraft and Rocket League may not be a big deal, but what if FIFA 18 and Call of Duty: WWII wants to merge playerbases? Suddenly Sony loses a competitive advantage: people buy a PS4 to play with their friends.
That's why they won't do it. It's just not going to happen.
But you can use DLC attached to MS account without buy on PSN.
Do you happen to have a list of xbox one games that have issues with matchmaking. And sony would have the same way huge player base *facepalm*
Sony didnt cite this as a problem. Lets not.Not making playstation customers sign up for a xbl account to crossplay would be step 1.
Microsoft = evil. Sony = super Jesus.. Like 20 times Jesus plus 40 ghandi.Considering it's Microsoft we are talking about there's most likely some really ugly small print clauses which make it impossible to sign for any sensible company.
You jumped around my question. Do you have a list of games in xbox one where matchmaking is an issue? I've never had that issue on either but for older games this definitely will benefit once player bases drop. Rocket league player base will soon be bigger on xbox pc and switch due to the fact of sonys hubris.They already have the bigger pool (not specifically in Minecraft, but in most games that go PC + PS4 or even just PS4 vs Xbox One. Why would they do something that allows the competition to equalize that factor?
Now if MS reach Sony and says they will pay a part of DLC profit from the users that played on PS4 with outside DLC.
Now we are talking about negotiations... Sony can and should think about it.
Holy shit, you draw a good point, if Sony really did do crossplay with MS they would lose all their DLC first privileges on any crossplay games. (Due to compatibility issues)
That may be why Sony doesn't wanna crossplay.
Probably the fine print in MS crossplay plan.
Now if MS reach Sony and says they will pay a part of DLC profit from the users that played on PS4 with outside DLC.

In this scenario does Sony return part of the 30% when people play on switch/mobile/pc/Xbox?Now if MS reach Sony and says they will pay a part of DLC profit from the users that played on PS4 with outside DLC.

Come on, strawman excuses here, all DLC is provided through the consoles store and always will be.Now if MS reach Sony and says they will pay a part of DLC profit from the users that played on PS4 with outside DLC.

No. Just part of it... Sony needs to give up something too.In this scenario does Sony return part of the 30% when people play on switch/mobile/pc/Xbox?
This would totally change my life. I could finally play Warframe together with my young brother.
You'd be surprised.I assumed OdysseusVA was joking. No one's that terrible.
That the issue... you increase DLC sold on official marketplace and decrease on platform holder store.Platform holders still get their 30% cut on DLC if it was bought first on their platform. Afterwards the DLC will work on any platform.
Looking at this thread is my idea how cross-play works wrong?
I thought it is just the same server with multiple APIs enabled. So no reason for everyone to must have the same type of account.

Deeke[VRZ];246801846 said:Why doesn't Sony allow cross play?
Warframe devs said crossplay was allowed but they couldn't find a way to synchronize updates across PS4/PC.I'm not sure we'd get cross platform play for Warframe even if Sony allowed it. Do the PS4 and Xbox versions even get updates at the same time? I know the PC and console versions don't.
Like he said this week "People buy Xbox because we have the biggest exclusives"???
I doubt that will happen... Minecraft PS4 players will continue buying this version DLCs.Sony denying cross play is going to hurt game and dlc sales of Minecraft on that platform, so that's chopping off a leg to save a finger.
Why not just use PSN login data like all others cross-game play?
Warframe devs said crossplay was allowed but they could find a way to synchronize updates across PS4/PC.
They choose not crossplay to allow PC players to have frequent updates released.
*Console they didn't allow things like pure chess in the pastSony has no problem with cross play with PC but with MS there seem to be a problem .
There are few reasons i can think of but it would be interesting if we ever get the reason one day .
Don't Sony still have cross play with PC ?
I'm sure a software gaint like MS could develop a better "handshake" implementation than that.

Yup, Greenberg looking for that free PR don't be fooled.Update: "it is still Sony's fault"
Just make it happen Sony. If only to stop the whinging.
In majority of cases this wouldn't be true because they will still have to pay a PS4 because things like cross platform parties(Voice/online play) won't be a common thing because of the cost related to setting up and maintaining those services.
At that time Xbox was not the picture so it's wouldn't be that. Everything they have done so far shows they are against console cross-play but not PC.I mean Sony seem to have a problem with MS more than PC .
True but Psyonix have said cross-platform parties are considered a completely different thing by console manufactures so it's not like they would be opening the doors here.Sure, but they're still not going to take the risk.
I think it's a problem.Sony didnt cite this as a problem. Lets not.
