Why you should care about Console Manufacturers Business model

And some keep saying "Well I'm not an investor, I'm a Gamer and Gamers should want this." and i find the stance so child like. Its like you don't care about the practicality you are just having a tantrum on the grocery store floor because you want something. "I want candy! I want candy!", with no consideration for the fact your parents have finite funds to ensure you survive.

I like having everything I want too but not at the detriment of internal collapse. Every single gamer is indeed an investor when you buy a console. How well that console does is your "return". When they do well, your gaming health is doing well. Sony knows opening the Crossplay doors to their competitors is bad for future business and as an investor I back their sentiment.

That's the most ridiculous stuff I read in recent time. The business model doesn't break down because of crossplay. The actual effect of crossplay on business is pretty small for the platform holders. 3rd-party devs profit more from it, that's why some of them argue for it. But PS4-sales will not take a nosedive if they allow crossplay, there is no fucking risk of 'internal collapse'.

And no, it is not child-like. Your argument sounds like: "Yeah, Monsanto might cause cancer with their stuff, but they just wanna make money. So everyone criticizing them is childish." Yeah, we are forbidden to criticize company for bad practices? That is childish? Sorry, I'm not a company bot, I am a human, I certainly think we should try to achieve a betterment in companies for the general public. And no, believing this would cause "internal collapse" is just childish bullshit.

I agree with this.

If adding cross play would cost Sony money or lose support than i kind of see Sonys decision, but Cross play has no baring of any mean to effect Sony or Play Station in any way where its a negative. 

Infact not allowing cross play has probably hurt Sony more due to the buisness model aswell as locking peoples accounts.

In my opinion, Sony know how big Fortnite is, and they want to rake in all the revenue for it, afterall Sony dont have many MP games on the market of there own. This is a typical greedy strategy which isnt just exclusive to Sony. I am sure any company with huge support will do the same thing.. But as gamers we should be against corps forcing these anti consumer rules and believing there so called excuses to there reasonings. Its as obvious as the sun why Sony wont do it, not because its a better experience.
