I'm more than happy for it, having played games with dieing player bases but larger games like Fortnite or CoD have the player bases to not need it and give a better playing field and yet those are the ones people are asking for it on, FPS where I don't want to go against PC users? No thanks. Tekken 7 where the tournament online section might throw up 1 tournament for me to play? Yes please. Although Harada didn't do Cross play because he didn't like the idea of PC exploits affecting console users, a different problem entirely.

I just find it odd that Sony became the villain suddenly when they already did many cross plays but just because it MS asked when people wanted it on Fortnite when it was MS early policies that as you say meant FF14 isn't on Xbox.

I've actually seen my nephews doing crossplay with a Xbox One and PS4 in different rooms. So its worth considering the most popular games might actually have the greatest demand for crossplay. However, games with small populations can greatly benefit.

Sony became the villain because THEY BECAME the problem. When MS was opposed to crossplay, they were the villain in my eyes. Its really simple as that. Opposing crossplay out of revenge or whatever doesn't benefit consumers.

Anyhow, its great that both are doing crossplay now and hopefully it becomes more standard in coming games and next gen.

But would you say that because Sony capitulated to the idea of console crosssplay in a much more timely fashion, and more crucially, did so during a time when they are the unquestioned market leader, that they are less of a problem, and hence, less of a villain than Microsoft?

SAY IT!!

Slightly more seriously....who is opposing crossplay as a means of exacting revenge? Sony?
