Anyone else a bit confused about what Sony and MS's policies on cross-play are? Sony seem to be totally fine with stuff like FF14, but not MC and RL (except sometimes PC?). MS seem totally fine with the latter two, but FF14 can burn in a fire.

Bleh.

Sony is fine with PS4 and PS4

Microsoft is open to corssplay between PC, Mobile, Xbox, Switch, and PS4 but Sony said no.

In the recent past, Microsoft turned down shared servers with Playstation/PC in regards to at least two different games that we know of.  That's why it's confusing.

Plain sucks at this point, I highly doubt them allowing this would hamper their sales in any way, you're just fracturing the player base.



Don't ruin the moment

MS is open to crossplay with everybody now as far as we know. Sony seems to not be open to crossplay with other consoles, just PC. FFXIV isn't on XB1 because Sony won't allow crossplay with XB1, and PC is already crossplay with PS4, so XB1 would have no crossplay which would make the playerbase too small on XB1, so Square isn't bothering. Hopefully Square decides to release FFXIV on XB1/Switch with crossplay for those 2. 

Yoshida (FF14's director) has previously said that FF14's absence from the X1 was down to MS, not Sony. Apparently there's something about MS's cross-play regulations (at least as of last year) that have made things difficult for SE, despite them actively trying to get the game on the platform.

MS having since changed their policy seems like a probable explanation for half, but it still leaves questions about why Sony didn't care with FF14. Maybe they've also changed their policy since then? I dunno.



Sony doesn't need to do it, they have a 60 million userbase, vs 33 millions (xbone and NS combined), so it would be stupid to give your opponents this advantage. And i don't care at all because there are a lot of players in rocket league or any other game for an fast online play on ps4. So yeah, you can scream as loud as you want to, nobody cares at all besides some hard-core fans from forums.
Also, why don't Microsoft make their games for ps4 ? I want to play Forza Horizon, bui i don't want to buy a xbone, i want to play it on my ps4, that's unfair, they are arrogant etc (this is sarcasm, btw)

No, but for a company that started this generation triumphant by playing into consumer friendliness, this and their mulishness on BC are pretty fucking anti-consumer.



So silly, Sony.



So I guess Sony isn't really "For The Players"

Long run this could be bad for Sony if it becomes the norm with switch, xb1 and pc games.

Lol. Yeah, given the massive amount of games which will be on all 4^^
