And just like that Ms starts her own Steam. Don't forget switch players to buy Minecraft on ''Windows 10 store i said again on 'windows 10 store" we have store also and we want to compete steam haha


That is huge man good catch

On origins or on ubi store you can register your IP, your psn name why don't here?
if Spencer say we want to know who you are, so basically you play like xb life player not like switch player?

On Rocket Legue i said again the game is huge on ps4 is become huge because of ps4 milions of player play it on ps4 why Sony must open to the few NS players and xbox
PS3 was open to pc and in the and they get a huge hack so for now Sony network is close and they don't care about few NS and xbox players is not like none play RL on ps4 right?

They do but the console space is different.. Microsoft were super aggressive in their entry into console gaming and on their second attempt caught Sony off guard and gave them a real scare.  Ultimately they felt and now Sony is tightening it's hold on the market again but there's no chance Sony would approve something that would boost MS'S live numbers.  Especially since they love nothing more to brag about MAU'S in their PR. 

Hahahahahahah

And yet, RL has no XBL log in and yet is still denied cross play with other consoles. 1 + 1 = 2. Hope that helps.

And lol @ people defending this. It's literally nothing but good things for RL and Minecraft users yet Sony feeds some BS and it's accepted. EA Access all over again :)

If I owned this game on PS4 I would be upset I could understand of sony did it just to avoid XBL but since they denied RL like others mentioned its not just that.

Cross play is awesome because if your friends have a different console you can still play togheter, consumers win.
Its very commen for the company thats ahead to be less consumer friendy mostly because the competition is trying to win back gamers.

Sony did it with the PS1 and PS3 really pushing boundaries hard and Phil Spencer and his team is all pro-consumer since he started as head of xbox, the reason why is obvious.

Anyway the greatest thing out of this story isn't about sony or microsoft. Its about nintendo just not caring about the XBL login and allowing their gamers on switch the best version of the game possible, by allowing crossplay, great job nintendo.

It's the same principle as with Minecraft. Microsofts crossplay push is the attempt to parasite. Period. How odd, that this subject emerges regarding two of the most well known online games of today. At exactly the same time. What a coinkydink.

Online multiplayer has become a crucial part of gaming and with their newest approach MS trys to remove a barrier, that might hinder people with the incentive to buy some new hardware with weird naming. Like a lousy cheat trying to reach the goal anyway but the honest and straightforward one.

So Rocket League does not require Xbox Live, but this is the reason?
Care to explain...

Also, I do not think this is unfortunate for Switch users :) It is quite normal to have a Minecraft account (which will be the default Xbox Live one) to be able to play with others on different system, you need a unified account system... No matter if it is Xbox Live or not

Yah basically, No :) They did not allow EA Access. This was just a promotion EA announced and they clearly said it was for a limited time only.

The rest is pure specullations.

Its a MS game. If MS want there Minecraft community on there network so be it. Sony want to sell PS4s and Minecraft yet dont want to use there network. Like i said before. MS should just pull the plug on Sony and say a stupid excuse like "Unfortunately with our latest patch being with Cross Play platforms, future patches cannot be applied to Minecraft versions without Cross Play"

That justifys this situation and will push Sony to make a choice, lose your Minecraft community over a silly arrogant buisness decision or just except the Network of the company who OWNS the game.

They did it with Steam last year. No excuse to not do it now. If Sony had a game selling on X1 and required me to sign into PSN i would have no issues.
