Spencer should really stop responding to people like crudgamer and Tim Dog, he can't proclaim his anti console war stance and at the same time give these people the time of day. As for the content of these tweets, there's not really much there that we didn't know already, BC takes work for them and Azure in theory is available to any game, it's simply not free on other platforms which is why companies aren't going to use it, cause at the end of the day the crushing majority of gamers don't care about or even notice the difference between dedicated server multiplayer and P2P.

MS' whole server farm for the use of dedicated servers on the X1 is something that's basically never talked about, the only time I see it mentioned is when people are "worried" that Titanfall 2 will be "ruined" due to being multiplat and not using those servers.

Those tweets about the cloud started when crudgamer asked Phil to lock down Titanfall 2 as an exclusive because "better with cloud".

I mean I know you already know, and I know Shu's word is what matters for rubbing, but yeah Sony is fine with devs using Azure.

Fanboys tend to think that these companies hold the same irrational viewpoints they do. Microsoft making money off of its Azure servers doesn't affect Sony. I'd bet only a fraction of that money, if any, goes back into Microsoft's Xbox division. Microsoft makes enough money without it anyways and Azure isn't just for gaming. The only area these two companies actually compete with each other in is the console market and Sony is winning there by quite a margin and growing. Now, if Sony was attempting its own server farm like that and offering it up as a service then that would probably be a different story. Sony isn't going to say no to Titanfall 2 if EA wants to use Azure and Microsoft isn't going to say no to money.

Nothin important because usually organizations would have their own server on a cloud either ways.

No clouds are expensive to set up and run.

99% of organizations will rent cloud space.

Sony doesn't have a problem with games on PS4 using Azure, it's all about money and if the devs/publishers actually want to use it. Sony doesn't give a shame.
