Analysts tell us that they don't expect much business impact from the cross-play policy, and that's the real bottom line for Sony.
Fortnite fans are begging for the return of OG mode while using the player count as proof that fans are not happy with the game's direction.
I just want the previous map back... The locations to land at in this current map are terrible. They have no personality.
I miss Slappy Shores, Knotty Nets, Brutal Bastion. RIP.
The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 map is going to bring several changes to the in-game island, and Epic Games may have leaked some of them.
Epic Games is sending more V-Bucks back to Fortnite players, so make sure to get into the game and check if you received them.
But they shouldn't...
But at the same time cross play is something we honestly don't have a clue what's going on behind closed doors.
It's something Sony needs to work towards but at the same time it's not going to slowly kill us as each day passes without it.
DarkCloud.. an employee for Sony and a member of the Youtube community, said it has to do with the algorithm of fortnite, and they don't want Nintendo and Xbox to have access to it.
The guy is right. Sony is far to successful to get impact from this situation. Keep crying lmao!!
They can afford it this gen, of course, but the real issue is next gen. Two of the biggest advances this gen have been mods and cross play. Both are in early stages, but next gen they'll be much more prominent.
Sony are going into next gen on the wrong side of both. They're blocking full cross play, and they're severely restricting mods. That's on top of them dictating how and where gamers can use their own 3rd party accounts.
They have the games, but they're needlessly giving themselves disadvantages going into next gen. For a company so focused on staying in the lead, that doesn't make sense.
I think it has less to do with arrogance and more to do with paranoia. They stated the reason they are reluctant to crossplay with other consoles is because of security concerns. It opens a whole new bridge of potential vulnerability. Not to say there might not be a hint of arrogance in there like figuring they don't need to try and work through these security concerns because they're the biggest system right now. That is if in fact they are indeed doing nothing, though I imagine with how much traction this is gaining they have to at least be looking into it.
