TIL people on forums like this and Gaf still play (or act like they care about) Minecraft, I thought its demographics was mostly a younger part of the population? Threads about it never comes up on these boards.

We all know why MS suddenly is a big champion of cross play and why Sony doesn't allow it: they sold 60 million consoles in 3.5 years, they don't wanna share their pie with Microsoft and Nintendo. Especially not with MS who when they were in the leading position, did everything they could to have games and gamers locked to their platform. We would have cross play today if MS wanted it with the 360.

Why would Sony allow other platforms to benefit from its gigantic pool of players, when its another reason for people to choose PS4.

As a playstation gamer I'm happy. I turned off pc players in RL because they could have an advantage and there's no way to communicate with them.

Ps4 games usually get most sales and stay active online. Not our fault other platforms have the minority share and want a slice of the Sony pie.

I'd have sympathy for MS if they were up for this last gen like Sony were. They snubbed it then when things were equal and suddenly they want it when they get dominated. They don't deserve it.

I dont have sympathy either, Phil Spencer should do a better job at selling more Xboxes and expanding his player base.

1) Their are a lot of threads use the search function, also news tend to be posted in the Xbox empire about updates/new gameplay modes etc.

2) PC Has more than 25 million MC players/Ipad Had more than 20 million, Xbox one + Switch probably has between 5-10 million That's atleast 50 million Mc players in Crossplay and you talk about a minority share? 

 

3) Worst part is ofcourse that you defend it, their are literally kids/teens who have it on PS4 who would love to play it with their classmates with crossplay on PC/Ipad other devices and they can't, and you say that is good?
