Not defending Sony. It’s messed up that people can’t transport their Epic accounts from Sony to other consoles. But Fortnite and Minecraft have thriving online communities and you’ll feel no ill effects nor benefit from not having or having Sony players online with other consoles. MS and Nintendo are smart for making this PR move but ultimately it’s not gonna boost them past Sony. In a few months no one will care about this because it’s quite pointless. I wish I weren’t a Sony fan because that fact almost makes my opinion moot. Although I’ve had the same stance on cross-play no matter which company doesn’t want to participate. 

Actually you're wrong. The benefit of cross play is to play with any of your friends regardless of platform they're on. If someone owns an Xbox or Switch as their main console because those games suit them better, then they can play the same game with another friend who might feel PS4 is better for them. That's the scenario you're not quite getting. This isn't about you or me specifically, we aren't the be all to end all. Overall it's always a positive thing to be able to play with more than one community,regardless if you yourself think it has no benefit. 

Your opinion isn't moot, all opinions should be listened to, but it is clouded in bias against the other two companies. Let that part of you go, criticize Sony when it's rightfully so to do so, like in this instance and that's that. I expect the same from Nintendo and Microsoft fans to call out their respective companies when they do dumb stuff too, only logical

Not bias against the other companies at all! If MS and Sony wanted to cross-play and Nintendo didn’t I’d defend Nintendo. Because my stance is that it’s not that serious. When Sony fans shined that MS didn’t want to participate last gen I had the same stance: “What difference does it make?”

I see your point about friends wanting to play with each other across platforms but if that was so important to you in the first place why get a console that you knew none of your friends have? Cross-play is good in that regard but ultimately it’s a want, not a need.
