(Cough)...... MS desperate to try and stop losing subs to Playstation ...... (Cough)

Yes I'm sure MS is salivating at all the subs they'll "keep" thanks to cross platform Minecraft and Rocket League LOL.

Anyway this is a pretty negative spin done by a PlayStation fansite on an interview that wasn't really damning. Microsoft wasn't interested in their game, Sony was. They have a deal with Sony, I'd expect them to say good things about them. Microsoft killed it with indies last gen and were mostly mocked here for it. They showcased a ton at E3, just looks like one more ship Papa Phil is about to right. So hopefully in time all devs will have nothing but good things to say about all the companies.

That is NOT a compelling reason to renew a yearly subscription. Seriously, I can't believe the importance some people assign this feature. PS4 users can play RL cross on PC. XBO users can play cross on PC AND Switch!!! WOW. I bet when that was annouced new and prospective customers started stacking subs like people stockpiling canned beans at the onset of the apocalypse.

I bought 16 subs myself. Spent so much on those, I forgot to actually buy Rocket League.

16? Are you shitting me? Seems like overkill. What if you become a vegetable or an alligator bites your face off? Anyway, if serious, more power to you.

Maybe offer them a drink or two. Not everyone is chatty katty, talky walkie from the get go.

The subject is about all indie developers, it just mentions one in particular, but clearly implies that Sony is the best company to talk to. Please dont get all butt hurt because Sony is getting to big for their own good again and the arrogance is starting to show. All of the big three have suffered from this at some point.

 

Warned ~ CGI

we can't post anything against sony. He warned me too, because I "bother other users when talk about sony" (in a critic way)

Moderators should be impartial.

Yea it depends on the devloper. Another indie dev said

"Our contacts at Sony are not as reliable as those at Microsoft, to be honest," says Roy van der Schilden, business director of indie studio Wispfire. He was showing off Herald at the E3 IndieCade booth. "I don't know them as well, they're less engaged with what's going on here at IndieCade -- I've seen the Xbox people all over here all the time. I see, definitely, a difference."

But he was not mad he was adressing his statement because his statement didn't seem to have a purpose in THIS thread. How does that make him mad? And then he talked about people being butt hurt for some odd reason and was warned for it......seems legit so I don't why how that says you can't post anything bad about Sony or to the Mod being mad.....
