| Chark said: The only potential loss of revenue would be if someone was willing to buy both versions, which is pretty much non-existent. Since not every game will be on both systems, cross buy can serve as a purchase incentive and allow cross play to actually be a feasible feature since cross play can only be taken advantage of by those who buy both version, which again is almost non-existent. Really this is how all game software should be treated. You should be able to buy the game itself and play it on the system of your choice. This is a step in the right direction and I support it 100%. 3rd parties should jump on board. |
Yeah, I agree with this. Steam has cross-buy as well with Portal 2 being on PS3 makes it free on PC. And obviously I believe it works out for Mac/Windows games as well.
Very few people buy both the versions of a particular game, so this will never really affect sales.
