Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare blocks out Share Play entirely

But it does work with every game, but only if the publisher chooses to allow it. You can't force these things on publishers.

Yes, you can. Sony can simply say "hey, no shareplay, no PS4for you." You think Activision would walk away from that much money? PS4 is the leading console and by a large margin. Sony has ALL the power right now. If they wanted to force shareplay, they could.

Terrible idea.
That would drive millions to use other devices (foremost X1 and PC).
Ghosts did almost 3m, Advanced Warfighter shouldn't have issues to reach 5m in a rather short time. Sony would be losing tens of millions dollar from royalties.
That doesn't include lost money from driving people to buy competitors software instead of their own.
