Sony want to sell an Xbox own IP and dont want to use there services to play it?
Maybe MS should just pull the plug on the PS versions.
Sony had no issues signing into Steam for Portal 2 for cross play.
Seems they just want to take and never give.
Arrogant at its best.

Not to mention rocket league... People need to realise Sony isn't your friend. Sony isn't a good guy. It's a business.

 

I have no real problem with no Minecraft crossplay though. It does promote the main competitor.

 

It's the same principle as with Minecraft. Microsofts crossplay push is the attempt to parasite. Period. How odd, that this subject emerges regarding two of the most well known online games of today. At exactly the same time. What a coinkydink.

Online multiplayer has become a crucial part of gaming and with their newest approach MS trys to remove a barrier, that might hinder people with the incentive to buy some new hardware with weird naming. Like a lousy cheat trying to reach the goal anyway but the honest and straightforward one.
