Well I take it as a plus
I’m already tired of useless cross-play that you have to disable every time you will play a multiplayer game.
BTW what it could not miss in a Lego game is offline/local CoOp MP… that should be a deal breaker for the audience.
It's a co -op game? Not a competitive game, so I don't see why you're comparing it to a multiplayer game lol. Online co-op is already there, I don't see why Cross-play a simple feature isn't there.Well I take it as a plus

Either way just posting my thought as I really don't care much, not like I'm buying it.
Marvel's Spider-Man, Death Stranding, Stellar Blade, Helldivers and MLB are a PS first party games because Sony, the platform holder published them.
The FF-trilogy are 3rd party games because they are published by Square Enix (a 3rd party company, which means not owned by the platform holdeR).
Doesn't matter who developed it or who owns the IP, or who made its game engine, or who has movie rights:
1st party game = published by the platform holder
3rd party game = published by a company not owned by the platform holder
This how it has been always, since many decades ago.
In the case of Death Stranding, outside the "1st vs 3rd party" talk, Sony is the owner of the IP, so who decides where the game can be released. Kojima asked to release it somewhere else and Sony allowed him to do with other publisher as an exception, because back then they didn't publish their tentpole console games in PC.

Right.
Death Stranding was published by 505 on PC. Third Party too?
Is Demons Souls PS3 first party or third party cause it was published by Sony in Japan, Bandai Namco in Europe and Atlus in NA?
How about select Call of Duty games which were published by Sony in Japan?
505 is not the platform holder of PC or Steam, Epic store, etc.
So the PC version is a 3rd party game there, yes.
And the Sony published games are 3rd party games in PC, Xbox or Switch. Because Sony isn't the platform holder of these platforms.
Demon's Souls is a first party game because it was originally published by the platform holder, who later prefered to get some partners to publish/distribute it in other areas.
Call of Duty (or Destiny 1) were 3rd party games because were published by a company not owned by the platform holder. That publisher decided to partner with a Japanese publisher to distribute it in Japan, in this case Sony.
The publishers of the games sometimes partner with other companies to publish the games in certain regions or platforms (sometimes including potential related porting or localization). They are still the publisher of the game but simply decide to outsource part of the job, in this case distribution in certain markets.
