Am I in 2006 again?

Also should keep in mind that the 4 systems which do not include the PS4 lists "smart phones" I mean, android and ios are two completely different OS's and devices, to say they are the same is like saying that ps4/X1 are the same.

On topic though... this is terrible PR statement, one of those times when he would have done better to just not say anything or just punch the reporter who asked the question then run away making zoidberg noises, anything would be better than saying this shite from a PR point of view imo. X1X offers a more powerful system, PC is more powerful, Switch offers more versatility and free (cheaper in the future) online access. In what way exactly is the ps4 the best way to play the game? I mean, even if you're talking about the ps4p you still have the x1x and pcs which mash it in terms of power.

I don't care about crossplay and the only people I'm likely to play Fortnite with have a Switch already, so I'm set. Sony can do what it wants. But the account locking thing was very anti-consumer and the message I take away on that is that if you're ever dumb going to start pumping money into a game with this sort of model, don't do it on a Sony console. Also, don't link your account on anything to a Sony console. If Fortnite players want to send a message they should start new accounts on other platforms and let their Playstation accounts wither on the vine, but I guess Sony doesn't see that happening which is why they are doing a victory lap.

I don't know if you're choosing to ignore a big part of this situation deliberately or not, but it's not ONLY about Sony not allowing cross-play. If they don't want to have cross-play then that's a decision they have every right to make, even if the 'reasons' they've given for it have been bullshit since we all know the real reason. (They think they'll sell more PS4's by refusing it). It's also every right of the consumer to voice their displeasure at said decision since cross-play can only be good for the future of games. 

The difference with Fortnite though is that this is Sony literally claiming that they now own people's accounts if they even logged onto a PS4 with it a single time. For a game that is not even theirs for crying out loud. If someone had an Epic account for a while, if they even logged into PS4 once Sony now wants to say that account is theirs and can no longer be used on things like Switch, Xbox, etc. At this point that's not just 'refusing cross-play', that's literally affecting other people's games and systems they choose to play on. Tons of people literally had to leave their older accounts that they had already put a lot of work into behind and restart because of it. 

If you don't think that's an "asshole-ish tactic" then I don't know what to tell you. 

It would hurt Sony to do crossplay. It is like asking them to give the PS4 out for free. I don't know why these delusional individuals think that you can just ask for things and they will be given.

So there will be no PS5/PS4 crossplay in the future for some gams because the PS4 will be inferior?

And why are they allowing PS4Pro/PS4 crossplay in Fortnite despite the PS4 being the inferior console?

Why have they advertized PS4/PS3 crossplay or PS4/Vita crossplay or PS3/Vita crossplay or PS4/PS3/Vita crossplay in so many games in the past despite the PS3 or the Vita being the inferior console?

What are you blaming the devs for?

Microsoft ARE the good guys here. They're not abducting people's Fortnite accounts.

In addition, one thing I really like about them is they're not locking otherwise-XBox exclusives to XBox. They put some of those games on PC so if you have a capable PC, you don't need to buy an XBox. I call this "giving people more options" and it's pretty f***ing great!

"They want to take away the incentives that Sony offers that have people choosing it over the others in droves."

>No one I know of is asking Sony to give away their exclusive games.

"Do you know how many times people used "Well all my friends had a 360 so I got a 360" as a decider?"

>What's the count so far?

"What isn't fair is trying to get one company to do work for their competition when they have continued to exclaim they don't want to."

>If you think that's unfair, get a load of this!:

"Back when it was PS360 if you had PS3 but all your friends had 360 and you wanted to play with them.....you got a damn 360. End of story."

>I appreciate the history lesson but the year is 2018 now, not 2013. We're not in the PS360 era anymore but Sony certainly helps it feel that way sometimes.

"People threatening boycotts also makes zero sense."

>Some have reason to feel upset.

They probably should've said because they're winning, that would've at least been understandable...

Some forum troll is head of Sony now? What the heck.

He said inferior experience, try again funny guy. But I'm sure you got a witty response about how great Fortnite is on a touch screen and going below 30 fps.

Sony is taking the anti consumer option. Which is fine, Sony is allowed to do that. Its funny when Sony is praised for it though.
