Your comment, however, is extremely ironic. This isn't the same thing (not even close) of forcing online and a plethora of other stuff MS tried at the beginning

Hear, hear.

Fortnite is already a huge hit with PS4 fans, offering a true free-to-play experience so gamers can jump in and play online. With 79 million PS4s sold around the world and more than 80 million monthly active users on PlayStation Network, we’ve built a huge community of gamers who can play together on Fortnite and all online titles. We also offer Fortnite cross-play support with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices, expanding the opportunity for Fortnite fans on PS4 to play with even more gamers on other platforms.”

my comment is only ironic because you're assuming the potshot I referred is about ms forcing online.

Oh no, I didn't assume anything. It's ironic because the exact reverse of your comment is true and you happen to be the one that made the comment... Because your one of those people

That's exactly what it is. They need the PS3 Sony to return for their console of choice to be on top or basically tie with the PS. Not happening. So they reach for straws. Sony tried something different for the first 15-20 mins of their conference that didn't quite work... "arrogant Sony, bring on the $699 PS5." Sony has the same crossplay policy its had since the beginning of the gen, play with PC and mobile, not other consoles... "arrogant Sony, bring on the 'we need two jobs to buy the PS5.'" I guess if this is arrogant Sony, then bring on the 100M+ PS5. |
On the contrary, PS4 being the lead platform is license for Sony to be anti-consumer and motivation for Sony's competitors to try harder. In the end, as a Switch and X1 owner, I benefit from better service and better policy from companies that allow for better cross-play among other pro-consumer policy.
| thismeintiel said: And the ones attacking them are usually the one who defend MS and Nintendo. The console wars work both ways. The truth of the matter is that this won't hurt Sony or the PS4, nor will it help Nintendo and MS. The vast majority of gamers don't care, especially since Sony always allows cross play with PCs and mobile devices. And both Nintendo and MS know damn well they would do the same thing if they were on top. |
You're probably right, this is business when all is said and done, but neither Nintendo nor MS are on top. Thank goodness for that too: better to give a company reason to think there is room for improvement than reason to think they can rest on their laurels and get away with more anti-consumer policy.
I can only lament some PS4 owners who have to put up with some of Sony's decisions.
I don't see why Epic can't make it so that whatever platform you linked the account to in the first place becomes your primary micro-transaction account. Meaning if you linked it to PS4 initially, you have to buy everything for Fortnite through PS, but the secondary account and its primary contents are allowed to be used on other platforms. I don't see why PS would have a problem with that, unless Epic didn't or doesn't want to have/add that feature for whatever reason. I'm sure people would still complain that they couldn't easily buy something immediately on the spot on whatever platform they were using at the time, but it wouldn't seem near as anti consumer as this seems.
I also like the XB tweets about how they are so nice and so friendly to Nin and how they want to be friends with everyone in terms of online multiplayer and sharing. Didn't they just make a huge announcement that they acquired and locked down 4 different third party studio's that will force you to buy MS related hardware or software to play those games? If that's not sharing I don't know what is...
PS1 - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.
PS2 - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.
PS3 - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.
PS4 - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.
PRO -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.
PS5 - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.
PRO -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.
Honestly not sure how people are defending Sony in this.
