I know what I said.

Contrary to the "many ways of constant charging" I only mentioned 1 service related cost. Getting a PS4 or purchasing digital items are not constant charging.

And I don't see the relation between your example at all. Its a bit of stretch if you ask me.

And my original comment was obviously in relation to the idea of cross play being a paid service. your first 'if' example is written as if you think there is a strong possibility of it being true. so my comment stands.

But to make it clear, regardless of conditions or not, I think the idea of charging for cross-play doesn't seem very likely at all.

Constantly. Meaning without pause. Not continually. Meaning repeated frequently in the same way over time. People buying PS products is PS constantly charging for items. People initially buying into a PS service is PS constantly charging for that item, but people renewing PS services is PS continually charging for that item.

You always see the phrase 'free monthly games' used for Live or Plus, but they aren't free, they are part of the service you pay for. You say charging for cross play is ridiculous, yet your required to pay for Live to have access to online gaming and cross play, like for example Fortnite, which is supposed to be a F2P game with free cross play, but neither is true. You say PS charging for cross play makes no sense, when XB is already doing it themselves. Situations like this, typically lead to everyone charging for that service down the road. Just like how online started with Live payments, then Plus, now Switch.

If PS feels the need to or have to. I'm not even close to saying I'm convinced they are. I'm saying it's a possibility if PS feels they are out of options or are backed into a corner, etc. Interpret it how you want, that's what it meant.

We'll find out eventually. If it's not implemented by PS5 then I have a hard time seeing PS changing their minds after that. Things change though. We'll see.

On PS4 you don't need PS plus to play Fotnite online. On Live and Switch(I presume) you need it.

If people really don't like the closed system of a console, they need to play it on a PC. I think you can have the best experience on PC for this game( I think PC has the biggest user base for Fortnite followed by PS4). Why does everyone complain about this. I don't remember there was so much hustle about not being able to cross play on Xbox 360 type and on PS3 had it already.
