I don't think cross play should be a thing at all, I'm buying a system for the closed ecosystem and security and the community that brings. If I wanted to play with Live or steam players I'd buy an Xbox or hop on steam. Thankfully Sony understand this.

You must really hate Sony based on your first two sentences, seeing how they been hacked the worse out of the three and they allow crossplay for various games.

They hold back on cross play, thank god. At the very least they are conservative with the competition, I don't want Live users on my PSN games. I'd assume most PSN players who PAY FOR THE SERVICE don't want the same. Cross play is a ridiculous attempt by MS to get a stake in their failing market share the same way they tried to mirror Sony's mic drop with sharing games at E3 with Backwards compatibility and failed. I pay for PSN, not Live. 

Don't buy into the console wars, having cross play has many more benefits to us than downsides.

I'm not so sure, nothing to do with console wars. I'm far to old to be concerned with nonsense like that. I am however a tad frugal and want my money to go to the best possible service. PSN, is a closed system and holds has quality assurance, I wouldn't pay for it otherwise. I've played on live, I've played on steam and the only service that comes close to a private discord is PSN. And as I said before I don't want to have to pay to compete with K&M players or users with mods and hacks so freely available.

What does PSN offer that XBL and Steam don't?

Cross play Is probably one of my favorite features. Been playing Fortnite, RL with my PC friends the last few months and it's been a blast. Love the feature. Haven't seen any hackers yet in Sea of Thieves. Rare will probably find a way to ban them.

Oh can you make cross platform parties between ps4 and PC for fortnight? My kids play it on my laptop sometimes, or together on two ps4's. All 3 of us could play together if that is the case.

Btw kinda funny that the whole argument against enhancements for the pro consoles for multiplayer games are bad goes right out the window with cross play. Must be the same fps, draw distance, or unfair! Crossplay, you could be playing against someone with 144fps zero latency monitor, KB+mouse, 8K triple screen setup, contrast enhancement injection etc.

In my case it's reversed though, Fortnight stutters and lags a ton on my laptop. It's hard to aim for a landing spot, bit better on the ground, yet 15 to 20 fps is about it. My kids don't seem to mind. Must look for the settings sometime.

Yeah PC and PS4 can start cross platform party. They will be put in cross platform servers with people doing PC and PS4.
