Lolll, wow... So much for working with every game huh? Mean while, steam's family sharing continues to work on virtually every game...

But it does work with every game, but only if the publisher chooses to allow it. You can't force these things on publishers.


Yes, you can. Sony can simply say "hey, no shareplay, no PS4for you." You think Activision would walk away from that much money? PS4 is the leading console and by a large margin. Sony has ALL the power right now. If they wanted to force shareplay, they could.

If Activision games were exclusive to Xbox one. Ps4 would lose sales FAST 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

WTF?! Giving it 1 day, or else; just pathetic...

Follow up on what I said earlierbPs4 relies on 3rd parties to sell its consoles as of now. No one's going to buy a ps4 just for its exclusives and nothing else. It's not a Nintendo console. So Sony needs 3rd parties. Anyways on topic. This sucks pretty bad. Hope other people don't follow suit. This is a useful feature

That is the quickest way for Sony to lose 3rd party support. 


The market leader has ALWAYS had the leverage, not the other way around. No consoles, no sales. That's the way it's always been. If COD AW doesn't let us use shareplay, it's because Sony let them.


I want you to imagine this fall without any 3rd party support for PS4...

Yea but heres the thing... On steam, games like Cod AW works with Family Sharing yet on ps4, it does not... Like, I get that you can't "force" these things on publishers but I was under the impression that virtually all games would have this feature, specially the new games cause on steam, all new games and virtually all old games have Steam's Family Sharing feature enabled

So, its a bit interesting to me that on Steam, you can do Family Sharing with this but on PS4, you cant even though Steam is free but PS+ is paid

What's family share and how's it different / similar to shareplay?

It makes complete sense for Sony to leave this up to the publishers, but I'd at least wait form the real game to actually be released before writing an article about it.

I'm talking morally not practically. Anyway, shareplay is new and given it's something you have to build into the game perhaps sony didn't confirm timing on shareplay implementation for it to be put in place for this game.

If this is for the full game, then Activision took a feature Sony gave to publishers to block cut scenes and prevent spoilers and slapped it on every single scene and instance of the game. If that's what they did, Activision are some really messed up people. Let's hope this isn't how it is when it is all said and done.



Thanks jlmurph!

I think its just temporary and will be lifted.

Family sharing doesn't allow multiplayer with the two accounts. Once a user is approved to play they have access to their friend's entire library for as long as they want only if the main account isn't playing that game. Only 5 accounts can access the library at a time but up to 10 devices.
