MS should in return offer ps4 players the chance to play halo,  gears, Forza etc on the ps4. They share them with PC just like Sony share crossplay with PC.  If they want many of their online games not to be a graveyard thanks to the superior ps4 player base then offer the games you give pc on ps4.

Can't have it your own way especially when you are the one desperate.  Last gen Sony was up for cross play when things were even.  But MS obviously thought they'd be dominating this gen after catching up last gen so weren't willing to share.

Only way this works is if Sony's first party games appear on Xbox One as well.

This makes no sense at all. Kerotan you need to chill sometimes

I don't get this. It's Sont blocking cross play, not MS. Sony simply won't let them do any of this.

And there's absolutely no chance they'll put their own games on PlayStation, while they're still a platform holder. They'd lose to much from it.

Had to click "show me the post" just to see what all the fuss is about.

I had a long post typed out but deleted it by mistake.  Basically it's unrealistic for MS to expect Sony to share their massive playerbase with them.  If they want it they will need to do something unrealistic in retreturn. Like releasing their games on ps4.

To be honest a this entire situation is battleship on Sony's part. Microsoft can't do anything if they can't "protect the children"

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that people think MS is desperate for Sony's online community for freaking Minecraft. I mean, they have the Xbox, Nintendo, mobile, and PC user bases. But it's all about that sweet PlayStation community somehow.

I didn't mention minecraft.  They want it desperately for other games.  Hence why MS hasn't stopped publicly begging for months now.  This doggy won't be getting any bone off KAZ though. LOL

I don't think you're that stupid, are you? It's clear that MS are more focused on subs than ever and Sony aren't going to let them leech off their fanbase which they clearly see the size of of their fanbase as a strength. It's pretty dang clear why they don't want to let MS have access to their userbase.
Let's not get this twisted, PlayStation has twice the user base of Xbox. Vastly superior userbase in Europe and in Japan it isn't even a contest. If you can't wrap your head around that, then, well you are stupid.

As for the whole situation about crossplay, Sony have to find a way to allow Xbox users to play PlayStation useusers without MS taking an advantage. If they go into this without some sort of guideline then MS will exploit the shame out of it. No question about that.

lol why and how would MS leech subs off of PlayStation users in a game that doesn't require an XBL subscription. Speaking of stupid. Are you stupid? Stupid.

And of course MS sees strength in the probably millions who play Minecraft on PlayStation. Those are potential customers to sell DLC to. Remember that these are businesses existing to make money off of you. If you can't wrap your head around that, then, well you are stoopid.

You have a habit of ignoring obvious things. I think you need to reread what I said. But I think I'm going have to explain.
Hopefully this'll sink in but I'm not going to hold my breath. Leeching off the PS userbase and gaining subs aren't the same thing. If you want me to explain further I'm happy to teach you.
Now about subs, if you can't see how MS can leverage crossplay to gain more subs then I think your being ignorant. Do you really think that MS is putting pressure on Sony to jump onto crossplay because they care for the gamer? No. Let's get real.


Ludicrous Speed

I literally just told you why they want crossplay on the PlayStation versions of Minecraft. Instead of passive aggressive nonsense and tin foil hattery, friend, just slow it down and let the game come to you. Hint: I didn't say anything remotely close to "MS wants crossplay because they care about gamers!". I said they want to sell those gamers DLC. Hope that helps.

Still waiting on this grand plan Microsoft has to gain subs by putting crossplay into Minecraft. Are you saying they'll maybe one day make a Minecraft sub or something? In which case, who gives a crud. They'd just be one more publisher with a subscription. If pure talking XBL subs though, lulz.

Feel free to keep discussing this, but no need for insults being mixed in.

How about they suck kaz's sucker too and cut off their pinky fingers as tribute.
