Wait a second.... [quote]You might say Microsoft already promotes cross play with PCs, but I respond that they limit cross play with their own Microsoft platform and not services like Steam. [/quote] PS4 cross-play already exists with the Steam version of games. Sonys denied cross-play with Xbox. So let me get this straight, PC - Xbox cross-play ONLY exists if the PC version is the Windows Store version... Meanwhile PS - PC get to enjoy cross-play outside of the Xbox ecosystem. Soo Microsoft are trying to lure BOTH of the versions into there own ecosystem? Even tho its been working fine without them for decades??? No wonder they got told to shove off.

  • [quote]Soo Microsoft are trying to lure BOTH of the versions into there own ecosystem? Even tho its been working fine without them for decades???[/quote] "Working fine"? (Also, "decades"? We're about 4 years off from decades of Xbox.) I don't know if you were around when Microsoft experimented with cross play between Xbox 360 and PC with Shadowrun. Anyway, cross play was a disaster and Microsoft killed it. You can read about it here: [url]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ms-killed-pc-xbox-cross-platform-play[/url]

  • Cross-play between PS and PC has been working fine for over a decade (2002) still continues today and happens between the PSVR, Oculus and Vive aswell. Its open ended, purely upto the discretion of the developers. If MS ONLY wants it to happen within their own ecosystem then that's a dick move.

  • Of course MS wants PC cross play to happen in their ecosystem. They have their own store, OS, and gaming service.

  • Which is a dick move. Let it happen to games outside of the windows store like everyone else has been doing for litteraly decades.
