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. 

If you believe the bolded then you don't understand buying culture around these things. There is no positive benefit to SONY to unlock their player base to other consoles. All it means is X many people no longer have to have their console in order to play with their base if whom they can play with was a decider in the first place. Userbase has always been a selling point for consoles. So opening that Cross Play door ultimately leads to the loss of console's sold and money.

Their decision to keep it that way, It should be their choice without all these ridiculous market bully tactics. The "industry" right now is demanding Sony take an L on this front so Nintendo and Microsoft can better compete.....the entire premise is ludicrous.

As far as the consumers wanting this, there is seriously no reason for consumers to want this outside being an Xbox or Nintendo user feeling left out. PC and Phone Crossplay is already there. I personally don't NOT want it.....but I am not left out of the larger userbase because I bought a playstation. If friends want to play a game with me they know where I reside. I am seriously just trying to wrap my head around how you people believe Sony should care about the convenience of people who do not buy their products. Can any of you really explain this to me?
