Well that clarifies it, Epic just did a really good job impressing Sony so much that Sony wanted in on them.

Well just looking back as how things were between SNY and Epic around the Fortnite cross play dilemma, this looks to be a pretty big change in whatever relationship exists between them now.

It wouldn't be surprising, as MS was touting how great they were for getting ahead of things in terms of gaming advancement, by working with Epic on Fortnite cross play. We all know what that led to. The way I see it, it would be fair game for SNY to be using this as PR against the competition. A little Epic revenge perhaps? Tit for tat? Maybe SNY management hasn't played TLOU2 or doesn't get the point about revenge?

I'm mostly just joking about TLOU2 comment, and was mostly joking about the prior ring cost remark.
