Microsoft still begging for crossplay on Twitter

Haha thanks for correcting me. That's what happens when you're not a native speaker and try to translate a saw (is this the right word?) by yourself :) I'll try to remember the correct wording :)

I'm not sure your argument works though. I don't remember MS giving away dedicated servers to devs, so the games were eithe p2p or on servers from the dev. In both cases it wouldn't be on MSs network, they would just deliver some user information at this point.

I think the biggest issue here is having your account locked due to lack of cross-play with all. Also what Mike is saying is what millions of gamers and news media are saying and that’s how tone deaf Sony still are with this issue. This guy plays a lot of games on his Xbox, PC, PS4 and Switch and who knows what else he has. I don’t know another company’s corporate Vice President especially from Sony & PlayStation that actually plays the video games their trying to sell. It’s just sad some of these Sony fans are fine with having their accounts locked and fine with having less consumer friendly options.

You mean this?

People aren't happy with their accounts being locked. But that's not what this is about. It's about an MS exec trying to crap on Sony the day they release a new AAA game trying throw a shot over crossplay. Sony has already stated that they're not interested with crossing over their direct rivals. MS isn't going to let it go because through all their faux pas this gen, this is the one thing that can make them look like the good guy. When in all actuality they're just trying to create an even playing field on ecosystems for next gen.

Something no one seems to mention is that to play F2P games on Xbox you NEED LIVE, where as on PS4 you don’t need PS+.

In other words you can buy a PS4 and start up a F2P game like Fortnite, no charge.

@tgob89: I know you guys are special but at least you should know what is begging. ?

I don't see Sony on Twitter asking Microsoft for a damn thing.

Probably because you spend all your time combing it for MS 'news'

Lmfao that gif has me cracking up!

Desperation.

This is what MS is doing as Sony is taking dumps on them with hit after hit.

They wouldn't need crossplay so much if they had quality games on their system. Their userbase is low partly because of their shit first party output.

I've never seen this level of desperation at a corporate level from a company before.

Let's be brutally honest.......If theywere the top system they wouldn't even be talking about cross play.

They want it badly because they could almost list it as a soft feature. They're desperate and last place enough to do it.

"Buy our Xbox One, and play with 50 million PSN users too!"

@ArchoNils2: Don't worry about it, I knew what you meant. Not sure about how the online experience was delivered, but Xbox live was much more stable than PSN at the time, and the main difference was that Xbox owners paid for it, ps owners didn't...so it wouldn't have been fair for ps players to play on Xbox servers for free, while others paid for it.

LMAO what a cow you are. "Less options and freedom is a better thing for consumers!!!"

Someone tell Microsoft PlayStation has had crossplay for over a decade.

How is it fair now? PS players don't need to pay for fortnite, so clearly this is not the problem here. Fortnite is FREE on ps4, no need for a ps+ subscription.

@recloud: Because I've explained the reason why ms refused Crossplay with PS3 last gen....there's no reason for Sony to block it this gen.

What a lem you are, buying a product from people that have to beg their rivals to have mercy on them. Microsoft lost all their class and dignity in this console war.

They have never begged Sony to do it. They just point out how they are anti consumer on this. I understand why you need to believe its begging. Im sure it gets challenging for a geisha to continue to please her masters.

I truly believe some folks are mentally inept or that they are so far gone that reality has escaped them. The vast MAJORITY of MS games are multiplayer games yet the Sony fannies are arguing that "they have no games that's the reason they want crossplay". That doesn't even make sense. Are you guys even thinking? Then you have a moron arguing MS did "this" to undermine Spiderman? Seriously.

And you're just as bad as your overlords. "Pleeeeeeaaase cows. Let me play with you!" I don't even know why you're so concerned since you claim to own a Playstation, Sgt. Pepper.

Don't forget that small part where this became a bigger issue because PS4 players found out Sony hijacked their Fortnite account.

When you see the list of the top 20 most played games on Xbox Live you realize why they are begging for crossplay. The top list of Xbox games consists of multiplats and games with much bigger user-bases on PS4 lol.....

^ ^ ? Notice no Halo or Gears or any of the craptacular multiplayer games they released this year like SOT and SOD2?

This is the reason MS is desperate for crossplay. Other than multiplats they have almost nothing to sell the console with, and the overwhelming majority of people are playing the multiplats on PS4.

I didn't know that was their job.

Can they point out why F2P behind Gold isn't anti consumer?

They want crossplay to stop Boners from jumping off the sinking ship. If all their friends are getting PS4's, and they're the odd man out, then that's a temptation that Microsoft wants to remove. They're not even being subtle about it anymore. I expect these crybaby attacks on Sony to continue. It's the reason they're posting their employees having cookouts instead of releasing video games. They suck and so do you.

Who said it isn't? Anti consumer behavior is anti consumer. Its something Sony fannies like yourself deem acceptable depending on the company. Stop being a shill. :)

Sony is just out of touch with the crossplay. It only helps the developers (especially 3rd Party). Will allow them to take more risks with multiplayer games knowing they can unite userbases from all platforms. I also agree with Mike about having your content follow along. Would love if i could bring my progression over from Xbox Save the world mode to Ps4 when i play with my friends on there.

Also besides Crossplay, i feel Sony should make 1st party multiplayer games like MS but ps4/pc crossplay. Would give its multiplayer games a revival since they cant sustain them solely on ps4. Doing all this would def be a huge boost for Sony and PSN.

@cainetao11: Agreed. Microsoft isn’t “begging” Sony for anything, they’re just calling them out for not joining everyone else in doing something that is beneficial to gamers and developers alike.

Why does it have to be their occupation in order to do it?

Not so far. Lord knows I tweet them regularly about it.

People were crying because they couldn't play the game on their inferior Switch with the same account. They're gonna have to make a new account. If they feel that strongly about it, they can sue Epic and Sony,.

The foolish folks who are against it doesn't understand that the benefits are bidirectional for either company. Gamers can move from platform to platform without losing progress or content in the same manner people move between wireless carriers. Imagine if everything was as dumb as console gaming with regards to online gaming? We would have a shit load of walled experiences on the same network.

As far as I am concerned all consoles companies need to drop paid online gaming. MS especially since they already have Gamepass which serves the need for games. They need to man up and drop Gold all together.

If you say so keyboard tough guy.

You mean PS4 gamers were crying.

Lots of people tweet them.

He replied to the 1st guy but then bailed when the 2nd guy asked for the F2P.

Mike and Phil act like typical lems on SW.

I don't see Sony PR tweeting about the Bone having F2P games locked.

Sony was doing crossplay first. It's just now anti-Sony fanboys have their lips stuck out since they thought they could bypass buying a PS console but getting the pleasure of playing on their network. Nope. With what you're proposing, why should anyone even make consoles anymore? Just services that can be played on PCs and mobile through streaming apps and whatnot. Microsoft rarely sells their console at it's regular MSRP now because they devalued the box putting their games on PC.

No one just lied about Fortnite on PS4 being best when it factually runs better on X1X or PC.

Do you mean the PS4 gamers that realized that Sony hijacked their account and content when they tried gaming on another platform?

Not all platforms. Just Switch and Xbox. Sony doesn't want to play nice with them and I don't blame 'em.

Glad you conceded that it was PS4 gamers that were bitching. :)

Right now it's you that's bitching. Like I can do something about it. I don't care that you don't get crossplay. I have no empathy toward your bad purchasing decisions.

Don't be angry with me. Be angry with your PS4 gamers that bitch about Sony hijacking their account and content. :)

Please link me to this millions of players saying what you claim ill wait..

Millions of players are complaining about MS not allowing free to play games on xbox live without paying for them which basically make them not free to play at all.

But as always you say nothing about that..lol

Because you were brainwashed into thinking that paying for online is great.

Hahahahaa...

If i could get PS4 games on PC why they hell would i need a PS4 for? Hell on PC online is free graphics are better and PC also has its own line of exclusives not on consoles.

Sony is not out of touch with crossplay stop your crying Sony was doing crossplay with PC when xbox live wasn't even out on 2002,they did it on PS3 and since launch on PS4,unlike the xbox one which started to get those after MS did a 180 move on it.

Sony should continue to give the finger to MS just like MS did with then last gen.

It seriously makes me laugh how you PS fannies try and defend Sony's anti-consumer practices so hard... not only do they not allow cross-play (and we're force fed these bullsh*t PR responses that are complete nonsense & treat you like a moron), but they still aren't even unlocking people's Fortnite accounts.

You'd think you cows would be on the side of gamers, not some multinational corporation that doesn't give a sh*t about what gamers want.

Anyway, it's PS gamers' loss. And Sony's eventually.

Why would Sony share their hardwork to MS?

Lol says a lemming who supports MS that puts free games like Fortnite behind a paywall while Sony gives them for free and that instead of investing on games keeps delivering unfinished crap and cancelling them. If any fanbase is not in the side of gamers it is the lemmings that support the shittiest corporation for gaming right now. Sony has delivered constantly some of the best gaming experiences this gen with their first party unlike MS. Real gamers like games but I wouldn't expect a lemming to figure that out.

It cracks me up how Xbox dudes are pretending to be all in it for the gamers when they've been spending all gen trying to destroy PS4. Motherfuckers spend weeks talking about false Spider-Man downgrades then act like it's their right to be on Sony's network. LOL! They, like their MS overlords, know it benefits Sony in no way and only gives MS the advantage without earning it. **** that noise.

Spider-Man isn't a finished game yet. 3 DLC's are due over the next few months. Did you buy the season pass?

As if not all companies do similar things and no, I'm not going to buy Spiderman until a complete edition releases with all the DLC. I almost never buy games new.

I thought Xbox Live was the best place to play? ROFL. What happened to that? Now they are begging for PSN users to help hide the low numbers of Live users. PS4 is better than Xbox One and PSN is better than Live. People on Xbox are not worthy of playing with PS4 gamers. M$ needs to make some games to talk about.

@tormentos: only 1st party multiplayer games, didnt mean all 1st party. I would think going multiplat with PC on multiplayer games would help Sony with a larger userbase. The singleplayer games should stay on ps4 only.

Just imagine Sony coming out with crossplat games: Twisted Metal, Socom, destruction derby, Motorstorm etc.. Sony has had some really fun multiplayer games but the userbase on playstation could never sustain them alone, why i believe Sony doesnt focus on multiplayer. PC/Playstation crossplat for multiplayer fixes that.

Only reason ms is whining is to bolster their dying numbers. What else do you expect from the company that delivered the shittiest gaming experience of this gen?

What else do we expect from a poster like you that delivers the shittiest replies on the GS forums?

Pretty much this drivel.

@hrt_rulz01: Hey, the Sony Fanboy, who doesn't own a PS4 (@GameboyTroy) likes Yongyea and he speaks about Sony's response and MS response
