I just cannot understand how (subjectively interpreted) relationships between corporations can stop you wanting cross play or putting a negative spin on it. Theres a time when the sports team shit has to go and you have to go okay, we as consumers desire this. Fuck whats going on behind the scenes, if we don't have this its bad when Microsoft did it and it would be just as bad if Sony dis it. We want both of them to finally just say yes and put this through. I hope you do anyway because the only people opposed to this seem to be doing it out of pride.
Where did I say I did not want it? In fact, I quoted other people who constructively interpreted the benefits over the 'negative' and agreed with them.
Either way, how they announced it was in such a way, was to back Sony into a corner by a blindsided statement. MSFT said they will be offering cross platform play on ALL PLATFORMS and CONSOLES... knowing damn well they never even approached Sony with info ahead of time. That ensued a shitstorm when Sony had to respond with, "We have always been open to this, however, this is just as new news to us as it is to you all, so we need to evaluate this internally", and people have been all over them with the "ball in your court" tirades and 'what if' attacks, lol.
All because a company who tried to look novel, failed to announce to the other console makers ahead of time, before making a declarative statement. They knew what they were doing.
Anyways, it is done, last year's news. I expect this to not be an issue if it is no different than how it is now with the PC cross play.
