Fortnite - warning DO NOT play on PS4, or you can't play on Switch (and quick start guide if you're sheltered like me, and didn't know about this game before)

Exactly. It's most likely the dev's fault.

There was no issues between ms, sony and pc on this before nintendo got involved.

Nintendo and Microsoft hardware are able to cross-play.

Sony's the odd man out on this one.

Another way Larry could have put it:

If you plan to play PUBG on PS4, just wait a little longer... You haven't been able to play and continue to be left out because we used our software, resources, and financial strength to keep the game off the PS4 platform, knowing full well that since Bluehole could only launch on a single console initially, we weren't going to let that be PS4. We also just acquired a bunch of studios, but not Bluehole, because we are pro consumer if you haven't noticed. 

PS on the other hand, has locked down Fortnite accounts to the PS4 platform, and won't allow cross play or cross accounts. They did however refrain from locking the game down completely so that all other possible platforms could play and enjoy the game as well. If you haven't noticed, they are super anti consumer!

Thumbs Up

Maybe they reach this agreement when Fortnite and Switch didn't were as big as today.
Now everything is getting out of hands due to this.
Last year's Minecraft no cross play policy effect wasn't as big as this.

Solid points but every lost opportunity is wasted if the agenda isn't constantly pushed. This just might push PS to spin it as positive PR and allow cross play when PS5 launches, maybe.
