Well if people don't really care, then PS is justified in not worrying about cross play for the most part. To say, only games that end up having a poor user base need cross play, but others don't and would be a waste, is another reason why PS wouldn't make it a priority. If a game sells that bad or has few online players, there's more than likely a valid reason for it. You also can't always please everyone, even the few who may be addicted to a low user base game. There is always the option to try another similar game with a larger user base, or just try another game altogether. For PS and the available PS4 library, this shouldn't really be much of a problem from their point of view. Maybe the whole thing was just a fluke, but it kind of seemed like there was something more at play, even if somebody was just simply testing the waters, "inadvertently". |
Well, people don't care because if the game involved. It's Fortnite. And it's a PUBG ripoff mode. There's no squads yet, there's no voice chat. You just matchmake with random people and play. Furthermore Fortnite is a game that released and people have had a chance for months to pick it up. Those not interested in Fortnite aren't going to pick it up just because of crossplay.
Which, imho, is the main flaw of the argument here. Crossplay CAN be a big feature, and also not be a big deal in Fortnite. You'd be asking people to play a game they've already largely ignored for crossplay in its PUBG ripoff mode, over actually playing PUBG itself. The only big game where crossplay has been approached so far is Minecraft. And it's a gargantuan feature in that game now. The Realms feature where you have a persistent game world where you and friends can play at any time from any device (except a PS4) whether the world creator is online or not, that's big. That dude who shot gunned you in half a second in Fortnite being a PlayStation or Xbox user.... who cares?
