Hmm lets see here. Bringing the gaming communities together and playing as one sounds like a very good idea to me. Increasing the life span of MP games by keeping the populations strong is another. Haha i cant believe that's even a question.

Even Nintendo is on board. Thats a rarity in itself and this guy says the Industry is strong when Nintendo is strong.

You ask why now? Because we live in the present not the past.

In the present, Xbox One users are unable to play FF 14 and War Thunder because Microsoft would not allow them to use merged servers.  That's not just being unable to play with people on another platform, that's being unable to play the game at all, which hurts the players and the developers.

If you're mad about what Sony had done then you should be absolutely furious about what Microsoft has done, which affects players still today.  

Who said i am sticking up for MS's decisions with the 360?

You know what makes the industry strong Ryan? Allowing cross-play between all systems.

That sounds like it only makes Xbox stronger. There's no advantage there for Sony. Why doesn't anyone call out MS for not making copies of Minecraft the same on all platforms without forcing people into XBL? And I don't want to hear about devoting resources because they literally have all of them. MS is a third-party developer since the purchase of Minecraft, they should be pro-consumer and make sure the game is the same experience no matter where it is.

Hmm let me see... because its MS's own game being sold on PS4. Should MS stop supporting Minecraft on PS4 if Sony isnt supporting them back?

Atleast Nintendo gets it and respects it.
