Why console crossplay will mean nothing in the long run

I’m not going to bother reading the 100+ replies, but if crossplay were as irrelevant as OP makes it out to be, Sony wouldn’t be blocking it. It’s just that simple.

Also regarding blocking out free play versus requiring gold, they’re both shitty, but then again Sony has PS+ required for multiplayer, so if you’re saying Microsoft has this real crappy anti-consumer policy, you’re also saying Sony has a real crappy anti-consumer policy with PS+, MS just takes it one step further.

Of course, I see people are comparing Gold for F2P titles to Sony hijacking Fortnite accounts.... they aren’t comparable. One is a questionable policy, the other is pure corporate greed to prevent you from spending money outside of PSN.

Why is no one losing their shit over the fact that to gain access to said "free games" and "free content" when you sub to either, you're still paying to gain access to these on both. That "free discount" isn't actually free, because you need to pay the sub fee in order to gain access to it. Me literally getting a game on a free offer on Steam during a brief period of time is actually free, because I'm not paying to sub to Steam let alone receive any form of discount either. Same goes for GMG.
