The Playstation 4 will have the worst version of the game. In-case you aren't aware... Minecraft is one of the biggest franchises in video gaming history, ever. Not having it up to parity with the PC, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile and so on, places the Playstation 4 at a distinct disadvantage... And if that is the case, I hope Sony looses a few sales from it. |
So it's not your problem to change from: playing with others with your own gamertag, being able to find the people you know through their gamertag, to creating a new gamertag none of your friends know, under new rules, even if you're still playing with the exact same userbase? Isn't that slightly inconvenient?
Why would it have the worst version of the game? It has a large userbase, MS gains much more than Sony by selling the game and its DLC on ps4. Why would Sony care to lose out on the much smaller platform royalty. Those users will simply buy something else, maybe even a Sony game that gives them 100% of the revenue. Sure Minecraft is popular, but it's not a system seller or deal breaker. It hasn't been at parity with the PC for the longest time, has never seemed to hurt it. MS is the one that will lose the most by neglecting the ps4 version.
This thread is funny "Sony should be thankful MS still allows Minecraft on the ps4" MS is the one who should be thankful for getting all those ps4 users to enjoy Minecraft who then get tempted to buy all kinds of Minecraft merchandise as well as other versions. But sure, one corporation holds a grudge while the other tries to spread the love of Minecraft for all. It's simply business. MS can save costs with a unified userbase and attract new people into XBL. Sony loses control over the multiplayer portion while seeing no extra income from this move. MS will need to sweeten the deal if they want this to happen.
