This is mostly the developers fault for not finding a parity for balance purposes. I don't understand the complainers at all.. it's like they want to break the game even further. |
What are you blaming the devs for?

Microsoft ARE the good guys here. They're not abducting people's Fortnite accounts.
In addition, one thing I really like about them is they're not locking otherwise-XBox exclusives to XBox. They put some of those games on PC so if you have a capable PC, you don't need to buy an XBox. I call this "giving people more options" and it's pretty f***ing great!

These companies are competitors and for Sony to allow such a thing is to directly play into their competitor's hands. They want to take away the incentives that Sony offers that have people choosing it over the others in droves. Exclusivity has always been the name of the game in Video Games. It is the deciding factor of why you choose COD over Battlefield, XBox over Playstation, etc, etc. Exclusive features are what define them and userbase is one of the largest selling factors. Do you know how many times people used "Well all my friends had a 360 so I got a 360" as a decider? "Well it isn't Fair." What isn't fair is trying to get one company to do work for their competition when they have continued to exclaim they don't want to. "Sony is standing in the way of progress. It is important now because we have never been closer." WHAT!? The only change in the game is the Switch, which arguably NEEDS to be crossplay because it is at the largest disadvantage with online userbase on the fact it just came out. All this is is a role reversal. Sony INVENTED crossplay back in PS3 era and extended the offer to xbox and got a firm denial. Because Microsoft knew what Sony knows now, its a selling point. Now that Xbox players are at this huge disadvantage on userbase and friend groups are separated in a different manner they want Sony to be the one to bend? Come on now. Back when it was PS360 if you had PS3 but all your friends had 360 and you wanted to play with them.....you got a damn 360. End of story. People threatening boycotts also makes zero sense. Sony still has Crossplay with both PC and Phones.....of Which they completely eclipse What is possible with PC/Phone/XB1/Switch combined......thats how much of a lead Sony has. You would be leaving the largest circle just to make a point that is ridiculous from the start. |
"They want to take away the incentives that Sony offers that have people choosing it over the others in droves."
>No one I know of is asking Sony to give away their exclusive games.
"Do you know how many times people used "Well all my friends had a 360 so I got a 360" as a decider?"
>What's the count so far?
"What isn't fair is trying to get one company to do work for their competition when they have continued to exclaim they don't want to."
>If you think that's unfair, get a load of this!:

>I appreciate the history lesson but the year is 2018 now, not 2013. We're not in the PS360 era anymore but Sony certainly helps it feel that way sometimes.
"People threatening boycotts also makes zero sense."
>Some have reason to feel upset.
