What a dumb ass response LOL. I love that Nintendo is mentioned to be allowing it and they are hand's down the most family friendly in the industry and he just goes "well, ya, I suppose".

 

[franklyshankly]

and if you cant play with your friends when everyone else can, you're more likely to ditch your PS4.

They clearly aren't worried about that right now. With the market share they have they feel they can pull this off I guess.

 

[N.Grim]

Thank you Sony for protecting me from crossplay, EA access and backward compatibility

Fucking amazing lol

 

[WordsintheWater]

Well that's a dumb response. Props to Eurogamer for asking multiple questions about it and calling them out on their answer.

 

[antonz]

Nintendo is the most extreme company in the industry when it comes to protecting the children. They removed programs etc. from 3DS all because of potential child abuse issues. The fact they are on board with cross platform play say it all.

Jim Ryan seems like the person Sony puts forward when they want to defend a factually bad decision.

 

[Linkark07]

Damn Sony, had a hard time trying to not laugh loud in the office.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

 

[Thats a Greay Area]

I get you Jim. Your statement may go over everyone else's head but I get you.

If you expose Playstation kids to other platforms they may just grow up to play on other platforms.....Keep them safe in the Playstation universe!

Man why does Sony let this guy speak when everything he says comes out even more negative?

What a crap excuse.

He seems genuinely incompetent. I don't know why they keep trotting him out.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Someone over on the Xbox side might pull out their "bulky headset" and yell profanities into the mic.

 

[panama chief]

This is some fuck shit. Hahahaha. Sony will show up in cross play listings next year acting like they created the wheel.

 

[fantomena]

 

[Keinning]

"We have to protect the children"

"But Nintendo is doing it..."

"Oh yeah, you're right. But the answer is still no."

priceless

mad props to the reporter for saying that

 

[David___]

They used a Nintendo excuse. Lordy

 

[Salty Rice]

Whats with all that arrogant stuff?

I wouldnt call saving the children arrogant.

 

[CountAntonius]

Should have asked him why they're OK with PC cross-play, then.

Those Rocket League steam usernames though...

 

[KingSnake]

Don't you steal even the excuses from Nintendo, you monster! Haven't you stolen enough? /jk

This is ridiculous and arrogant from Sony.

 

[wildfire]

Oh god they're using Nintendo's horrible excuses.

Jim Ryan seems to be the Sony exec who always says the stuff I disagree with.

With Nintendo most of the time a story breaks from independent sources about pedos or backlash from concerned parents about questionable content.

With Sony....tales from a crazy buttocks on the train.

 

[KainXVIII]

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Lol, Sony is really playing the "it's for the children" card?

 

[Dyson Industries]

Bullshit.

Someone come up with a hashtag and let's get tweeting.

100% their Baghdad Bob

 

[phanphare]

Jim Ryan could use a few tips from Reggie on how to properly spin some bullshit

good god that was an awful response

 

[chicken_pasta]

Oh man.

 

[Maximo]

Using children as a fucking excuse...

 

[Gin]

Sony learning from Trump

 

[Diddy Kong]

What a shit answer.

 

[LukasTaves]

Why would you want to play with peasants from the other consoles?

 

[Jake2by4]

I pretty sure not everyone at Sony feels the same, but as a whole these fuckers are stupid.

 

[Kyoufu]

After reading that interview, I'm baffled why they won't allow it. The excuse given holds no water.

 

[weekev]

This hasn't potential to do a bit of damage to PS4 lead now. Arrogant Sony is back and that is not a good thing.

 

[HStallion]

Geez just say its not in your business interests or something. I'd take that answer over that PR nonsense.

 

[marc^o^]

What?

 

[Cartho]

The funny thing is, with Minecraft they're now gonna be stuck on an old, inferior version which no one else is going to be playing. Even the tablet versions will be more up to date.

 

[oti]

What a nonsensical excuse. All they want is to not open the bigger PSN to Xbox Live Users. Nothing more. I'd rather him be honest about it, as shitty as that may sound to the consumers.

BOOOOOHHH!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Imagine if MvC:I has crossplay between xbox and pc but not ps4

Sony is fine having crossplay with PC. But with other consoles they for some reason think they'll get cooties.

 

[gamz]

I can't stop laughing. Kudos for that reporter for pushing the issue. Made that guy sound like a complete moron.

 

[Lady Siara]

Sony is going to get ravaged for this response, as they should. This seems purely like console politics and nothing more.

Jim Ryan has had a pretty bad week or two.

 

[EL CUCO]

Thanks dad..

 

[Mengetsu]

Yea this is shareholders choice clearly. Start your petitions if you really want this.

 

[Calm Mind]

(screams internally)

 

[Neff]

this dude is amazing

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

this is stupid. This is why we need competition and free market, Sony got a bit comfortable with the PS4 and is getting a bit self-centered

 

[Heysoos]

🙄

 

[SporeCrawler]

they are right. those xbox one baddies will corrupt every decent playstation gentlemen. nintendo has no shame allowing this on their userbase...




oh wait they just dont have voice chat

 

[bennibop]

I can kind of see what he is saying to be fair, if anything happened (and kids on mineshaft have been targeted in the past) it could blow up in their faces. Still disappointing though.
