Imagine if we could play online together across different platforms! (excluding pc-sheep of course! we will *never* get friends with them!)


Haha, I play on Pc as well. Mostly strategy games (with Total War as my favorite franchise) and steam deals.  Still I don't know whether that was true but I heard that there was a game where you could play against PS users as an Xbox owner and vice-versa. I think it was a Midnight Club game. Not sure though... 

For certain games it actually should be possible since Xbox One and PS4 are just two different set-ups with same architecture, on pc it's not a problem to get MAC-PC for examle with CoD, Diablo, Starcraft etc.  


The problem is that 3rd-parties don't have their own dedicated servers for their games but use Sony's or Microsoft's resources.

On the one hand this is nice because you still can play 5 year old games online which is often not possible on PC as the servers get shut down.

On the other hand this completely destroys any chance of cross-platform online-gaming.
