What does that have to do with anything? One guy said Capcom should have made it multiplat, someone else replied that no crossplay made that impossible. I am just pointing out other game(s) have come minus crossplay to Xbone. SFV could have been no different. |
So on top of having to pay for marketing, tournaments and ALL the development costs on their own, a company that's already super low on capita (they had all of $150 mil in the bank at the time, remember that) would also have to run both their own unique servers for PS4/PC cross-players AND Microsoft's servers minus cross-play, basically allocate all the extra time, work and resources just to give MS special treatment, all because they're too greedy to allow console and PC players to play together.
No, MS once again shot themselves in the foot with their anti-gamer policies. After all, Capcom couldn't make DS4 multiplat with a lot LESS than that. Remember, this IS the same company that tried to ram the 24 hour DRM, mandatory Kinect and anti-used game policies down our throats, I guess we can add this one to the pile. Sony at least has the courtesy to ACT like they care about consumers (yeah, I know they don't, so spare me), MS makes it no secret they don't give a damn about you, they don't even try to hide it. That might explain why so many people switched from the 360 last gen to PS4 this gen, hmm.
Also, you guys act like Sony had ANYTHING to do with it. Newsflash: they didn't. Capcom went to Sony for SFV, not the other way around for this exact same reason as explained in the article.
