We were literally there last gen, but you know that. On the ignore list you go
Thinking logically All console platforms should have cross-play for FPS / ARPG / MMO / Fighting games as it helps keep game alive longer.
Most games these days come with the option to turn it off anyways so i don't see the problem.
The only times it can be a bad thing is when you have cheaters in lobbies / games.

I never want to see cross play go. It’s a must for mp games. Just give me the option to do consoles only.
I also imagine those saying otherwise don’t play online games and just talking fanboy thru their ass.
You can’t even matchmake in 2042 without cross play. It’ll take an hour to get a lobby going if that for some modes… if at all.

Cross play is a good thing, as long as I can disable it I have no issues whatsoever.
i dont mind to have crossplay tittles sometimes in games like battlefield i love to shoot some retards
More than 1 or 2 PvP playlists will hurt games like 2042. They don’t have the population as a PvP only game to support a wide variety of modes. Matchmaking takes forever. Now take away cross-play and you have even less of a population to work with to matchmake. Wait forever, no matches found — functionally broken.
The era of tacked on multiplayer is dead and buried. Ya know… these games actually need continued maintenance and content to keep going. Mp games need large player pools to even have functional games.
Anything less than 100k players a day is a DEAD GAME.
Crossplay only sucks in PvP against pc players. The cheaters, the pin point accuracy and turning speeds of Mk&b are a no-go. Not crazy about input method based matchmaking since controller on pc still doesn’t rule out third world country pc cheater scum.
Hell, cross-play and cross-save (cloud saves) should be industry standard for online games.

Of course, I never wanted crossplay and I don't even understand why they gave in to all the requests.
PC cross-play is much worse. PlayStation should never have buckled and should only have allowed it on a case by case basis.

Perhaps the ONLY stance I liked of Jim's that I read about.
Paraphrasing, but "everyone says crossplay is soo good but can't explain why, and why it benefit to us? Eat our crumbs and like it".
Of couse then, it was crossplay180 and we got it.
No, players should be able to play with their friends wherever they are. And for matchmaking of competitive PvP games the bigger is the pool of players, the better. Because there will be more chances to find someone of your similar/same level connected close enough.

What the 'No' voters are missing is that by blocking Xbox, you would just send those players to PS5 or PC because there would be no community on Xbox to play with.
Yes, there would be some loss of players as the rare few Xbot diehards stay put, but accelerating Xbox's death is worthwhile.

I really fail to see the benefit to trying to shutter Xbox from Crossplay. Genuine question(I'm really not trying to be a dick here) but do you have IRL friends who play games? My buddies from high school and workmates are all still on Xbox and have little interest in leaving for another platform. Being able to play with them is very nice. The last time I played games on Xbox was in 2017-2018ish, because no one at my school had a PS4. Crossplay letting me still play with those people was a godsend.
There's no benefit to Crossplay with Xbox other than Sony filling servers for Xbox players. At this stage anyone buying an Xbox deserves an empty server.
