"Epic AGREED to it, they must have or the game would not be blocked"

And Sony would deny Fortnite's release on PS4 had EG disagreed costing EG access to 80 million users.

Perhaps my previous post was too long and you did not see that I answered this. Sony would have the biggest backlash in history if they suddenly blocked Fortnite from the Playstation so Sony has a lot to lose if they can't agree with Epic Games on this. Because both companies have a lot to lose if not agreeing both AGREED to this current situation, therefore the blame belongs to both. In the end it's just business.

Right now Sony is in a much smaller backlash compared to a backlash of Sony totally removing Fortnite from the PS. It will be interesting to see what happens with this smaller but still important backlash. Will they give in and allow cross-platform or will they stand their ground?

People should not worry so much, just sit back, grab the pop-corn bag and enjoy the show, the Sony versus the other game companies show.

EDIT: And where is the backlash against Microsoft for TOTALLY blocking PUBG on the Playstation, they obviously paid Bluehole to keep PUBG from releasing on Playstation. At least Sony did not completely block Fortnite from releasing on other platforms and from a purely business point of view, they should have. It's what is known as an exclusive.

Highly speculative on your part: negotiations happen behind closed doors so it would be easier to hide this disagreement between Sony and EG than to hide the current case today: Sony abducting accounts.

Yes they did pay for exclusivity and they got backlash but not as much as Sony for EG account abduction.
