Why PlayStation owners are upset
Both Minecraft and Rocket League will soon let you play across different networks.
Meaning: Minecraft players on the switch, Xbox One, mobile devices, the PC and with VR headsets can play together. Likewise, Xbox-One, Switch and PC players compete in Rocket League.
Only Sony is not there. Not because Microsoft would not want this, for example, in the case of Minecraft. But on the contrary. The will is there, but Sony refuses.
Why exactly, our English Eurogamer colleagues wanted to know. Below is the discussion of Eurogamer editor Wesley Yin-Poole with Sonys Jim Ryan on this topic.
Minecraft supports cross-platform between switch, Xbox and PC. Today, Rocket League was announced as a cross-platform title between Switch, Xbox and PC Rocket League Trading. Both do not offer cross-platform play with the Playstation. Is it because Sony does not play the ball? What is going on here?
We have done it in the past. We are always open for discussions with any developer or publisher who wants to talk about it. Unfortunate is a commercial thing between us and other stakeholders. In this particular case, I will not go into details. And I can see you rolling your eyes.
Well, you must realize why PlayStation owners are upset. They want to play with both Switch, PC and Xbox-One owners in these two big, important titles and they do not get an explanation of why it is not. That's the point.
Jim Ryan: Yes. We have to be very careful with regard to the responsibility towards our players. You know as well as I do, that people of all ages play Minecraft, but also very many children. We have a contract with the people who are online with us. We take care of them and they move within the curated PlayStation universe Rocket League Items. Leaving children to external influences that we have no control over is something we need to think very carefully about.
It seems to be no problem for Nintendo. And Nintendo is probably the company that cares most about the protection of children.
Jim Ryan: Yes, that's true. Everyone has to make their own decisions. We will do that. As I said, we basically have nothing against cross-play.
Is this final? Or maybe you leave the door open?
Jim Ryan: I do not think anything is ever final. Everyone who claims this is usually a fool. Nevertheless, as far as I know, there is currently no talk about it.
