That's bad, no way around it. Could be temporary, could be caused by the dev/publisher, but most likely Sony is the reason here.
If Person A has Borderlands 3 on Xbox, and Person B has Borderlands 3 on PlayStation they cannot play together.
The copies are already sold, and they already have their consoles.
If they can play together, it's more likely they will be inclined to spend money buying DLC packs to continue playing together. That will drive revenue for Sony that could be lost otherwise.
What's more likely - that one person convinces the other to drop an extra $500+ on another copy+console to play together, or easily buying a $30 season pass?
Wait is this real? In what world does Sony deserve a cut of anything just because a developer enables cross play? 4theplayers my ass.
I do wonder what would force them to change their policy
Capcom vs SNK had crossplay between Dreamcast and PS2 in 2001 and Final Fantasy XI had crossplay PC/PS2 in 2002. Lets not pretend MS pioneered this shit in 2007 when they were actively blocking it in that gen trying to collect Xbox live gold money.They had PC/360 crossplay before anyone else tried it though (Shadowrun).
This is untrue. Sony expects to receive payments if there are purchases made outside their ecosystem that expect to be used in their ecosystem. For example, if a Fortnite player primarily plays on PS4 but goes on PC and buys a few skins and then goes back to playing on PS4, Sony has missed out on the sales while being the primary ecosystem for that player. They expect to receive some of that money from the PC ecosystem. MS and PC don't have these concerns because they aren't a large part of the Fortnite community like Sony is. As the leader, Sony is the one who risks losing income from allowing anybody to play anywhere and share ecosystems, including microtransaction products that are cross-platform.That we know of, Sony is the only company that charges publishers for enabling cross play
Does anyone know if you can play crossplay between IOS and Android games??If you have a friend who has Borderlands 3 but not on the PlayStation, now you can't play with them.
I know for some people having friends IRL is an alien concept though.
The punisher.Hopefully it is and I may not have read it 100% correctly I don't know if it's actually Sony that doesn't want this or the publisher?
You won’t buy the MTX on PlayStation so whatever... it won’t be missed.2 of my friend have the game on ps4
i have it on pc
i played solo and we wanted to play the dlc the three of us (tbh i pushed a little for it)
i will not buy the game , the dlc and PS+,it won't happen.
here sony will not see the money of two MTX ...
Good job conflating two completely different thingsFeels like there's people who believe its good for MS to make people buy an Xbox to play games originally planned for PS, while also believing Sony is bad for protecting their financial interests.
I suppose certain idiots only think that one company charges to play online eh?What do you expect from a company that asks idiots to pay to play online? Smart move, money is all that matters.
Depends on the game. When Fortnite was still on iOS you could. And I believe CoD and PuBG mobile don‘t discriminate based on OS.Does anyone know if you can play crossplay between IOS and Android games??
It's fantastic. All those hundreds of games that you can crossplay on the Switch with PC, Xbox and PSNintendo is far from being pummeled by Sony, and yet they allow it, too with no fees as far as we know.
Among Us, tooDepends on the game. When Fortnite was still on iOS you could. And I believe CoD and PuBG mobile don‘t discriminate based on OS.

Maybe you should ask the shareholders of each company if money is all that matters?
Dumb post
Your personal benefits from one or the other don't change the simple fact that both issues boil down to:Good job conflating two completely different things
Sony going hardcore with ecosystem warrior mode.
Ease up Jim Ryan. Have some fun.
And this my children is what we call whataboutism.People talking about shit about Sony like they're greedy ones. Just same random ignorant (in purpose or not? who knows) haters as usual..
Sure meanwhile Sony are using their earning money to release great games , also let's act like it's not MS that been make you pay online to play free to play and that also tried to sell you Xbox Gold for 120$, double the original price, and i'll pass.
Even in the event servers are P2P or privately owned and not using Sony's? What else is the 30% store cut and PS+ fees going towards then? It's ridiculous that without cross purchasing Sony would put in any sort of additional requirements or royalties. It's greed, plain and simple.Your personal benefits from one or the other don't change the simple fact that both issues boil down to:
1) a platform holder;
2) a requirement that if you want to benefit from what it has, then you must pay for it.
The theory is Sony needs to protect their walled garden or else PS gamers might bail ship to other platforms.Most likely Borderlands refused to pay Sony's extortion fees.
Why are you getting upset for? You wrote a dumb post as all three consoles charge for online play but you tried to focus that just on Sony.What? yes, ofc money is all the matters you fool and ofc anyone who charges players in 2021 to play online is a masterclass swindler. While not many have the "luxury" of playing on PC I understand some have no choice. Still, the less wallets they take from the consumer the less likely they drop dumb shit like that but that will never happen because looking all the income from mtx for example, the world is full of idiots. Now stop being a corpo rat.

I don't understand why your bothered if people are paying to play online? Calling them idiots doesn't make you some genius ya know. Now stop crying....
They have more games with cross-play than Microsoft and Nintendo. There's a keyword to this tweet. They're required to cut the cross-play and it could just be temp. There's definitely something going on with a toss up of who's to blame for whatever reason. But Randy and 2K aren't always honest. Let's not forget the Alien fiasco years ago.I don't see why it's good news. At this point the more people you can play this game with the better? Sony does really take their heels in about cross play for whatever reason.
Sony charges for crossplay support to protect PSN revenue, documents show
Epic lawsuit shows that Sony gets royalties if too many PlayStation players spend money elsewhere.www.pcgamer.com
here you go
I didn't say that it wasn't understandable why Sony as a company does it especially in the case of Fortnite and give the most cross-platform have dlc/mtx, the distinction between cross-platform play and cross-platform revenue is largely irrelevant. If there was a cross-platform game that had no DLC/MTX and Sony still blocked that, it's even worse. Also I as a consumer don't care if Sony is getting paid if I want to play with my friends on the PS5 when I am on a PC.This is untrue. Sony expects to receive payments if there are purchases made outside their ecosystem that expect to be used in their ecosystem. For example, if a Fortnite player primarily plays on PS4 but goes on PC and buys a few skins and then goes back to playing on PS4, Sony has missed out on the sales while being the primary ecosystem for that player. They expect to receive some of that money from the PC ecosystem. MS and PC don't have these concerns because they aren't a large part of the Fortnite community like Sony is. As the leader, Sony is the one who risks losing income from allowing anybody to play anywhere and share ecosystems, including microtransaction products that are cross-platform.
Of course its about the money. Everything these companies do is about the money. But I disagree on it being ridiculous. It's just smart business, as proven by Epic cutting a deal with Sony on this issue.Even in the event servers are P2P or privately owned and not using Sony's? What else is the 30% store cut and PS+ fees going towards then? It's ridiculous that without cross purchasing Sony would put in any sort of additional requirements or royalties. It's greed, plain and simple.
So let's say I play Cod or PubG and I have both Android phone and Ipad. I start playing on Ipad create an account and then I want to carry on playing on Android phone. Will my game carry over to the Android device?Depends on the game. When Fortnite was still on iOS you could. And I believe CoD and PuBG mobile don‘t discriminate based on OS.
Excellent.
They heard me. F**k crossplay.
There is only PlayStation!

two poeple using ps4 were going to buy it because of me.The punisher.
You won’t buy the MTX on PlayStation so whatever... it won’t be missed.
No of course you didn't mean Sony, you meant Nintendo as they are the company being discussed in this very thread. Genius....... Carry onNowhere in my post did I specify Sony. You wrote a dumb reply and I gave you more details. Now fuck off.

Are you gonna make me fuck off?
I mean would the purchases carry over to another platform? I'm surprised Apple would allow this? They went ballistic when Epic tried that lolWith CoD it uses Facebook or CoD to handle accounts so they're platform agnostic. I started playing on iOS and play now on Android with the same account.
Wonder if Phil is going to be having informal conversation with Bungie to ask them to kick up a fussPutting the death grip on users will just lead to more of them leaving. Games missing features on one console is never a good look.
Wonder how this with effect Destiny 2 with there cross play stuff next year.

Nah I hate Jim Ryan and want him gone.You can add Nintendo or Microsoft or any company to the thread title and my post would remain and still remains valid. It does not matter which, they're all idiots. Your reply on the other hand sounds like you're sucking Jim's dick. Carry on then.
