(Hardware issue, no SSD) Sony freaked out and their legal demanded that people only see their own platform and everyone else be generic. Why? Because they were scared someone would be playing on an xbox and beat someone on a PS in pvp. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago Sony was also the only company who didn't want cross play with and to others. Remember when Epic "by accident" enabled cross play for Fortnite on Playstation. That was hilarious. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago So the whole "pulling back on PC releases" actually has precedent within the company? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago* Several years ago Genshin Impact had to bribe Sony to get cross-platform support approved by adding Aloy, the protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, as a (shitty and blatantly unfinished) five star gacha character. permalink fedilink source parent
