Cross save should be a feature for every game. It's fucking stupid to not have cross progression. One of the things I appreciated when Fortnite came out was progression and cosmetics were on all platforms (eventually properly fixed with Sony).

This shouldn't be a point of resistance anymore.

The backlash is growing. They'll approve it.

Not to be a broken record but if they don't this is the end for me. Cancelling PS+, no more third party games.

People dont buy ps4 or ps5 matter to play games on PC or xbox next.

i know resetera deep in hole thinking majority people have multiple high end 499$ machines or 1000$ pcs but in reality people only play one device.
On the flip-side there's no point of reference, so it's entirely possible that people haven't used it because it's never been available to them, right?

Came in expecting a new quote from someone at Sony saying they're not allowing cross-saves.
All this says is pending-approval.

The wording makes it seem like it's going to happen, they just have to go through some approval process or something.
A lot of over-reacting happening considering nothing has happened or been announced.

I have a feeling they'll approve it after looking at the push back, but the fact that thats what it takes is beyond infuriating - they really need to get their heads outta their asses when it comes to cross-platform support.

Pending Approval does not mean holding back.........geez
Sensationalist thread title to create false uproar. Can we just wait and see?
But its does mean they are holding it back... for now. Thats literally what it means especially if everyone else is in it. Maybe their fax machine is broken to approve it? Idk

TiL, pending approval for something months away is holding it back. Make a stink and they'll approve it. They haven't said no, like they have in the past.

This happens every thread about this topic. It's expected.

As long as they eventually allow it, it's quickly forgotten, and even then it doesn't really affect them.

I agree it's really stupid and a huge mistake for Sony to block cross save. It's dissapointing to see.

Sony has not earned the benefit of the doubt in this regard.
I don't agree again there were examples lately of it happening.

Sonys done a lot of stupid stuff but did folks listen to the stream?

The way Google spoke made it seem like it was going to happen, and the approval is pending as a result. Not that it's not going to happen.

Do you have a timestamp? I missed the livestream and don't have time to watch all of it.

If true, that's good then. It might take a while, but hopefully by launch Sony will approve it.

If you ignore sony's history on cross play then sure it's reactionary

Amazing how Xbox and Google had no issues lining everything up between Xbox, PC and Stadia with plenty of time while Sony had to be a footnote that they haven't approved it.

Do people really think that "pending approval" means that it will be available one day or week later? LuL

I'm confused by this statement. Are you saying contracts do or don't matter. Or that contracts should be voided according to gaming forum opinions. I mean, you start off by saying that Sony "paid" to get the Destiny fanbase...
Sony invested in marketing partnerships to secure timed exclusivity on Destiny content. They did this so that a new major franchise would be associated with the PlayStation brand, even as it becomes available on the other platforms. This means that a huge amount of the Destiny playerbase made PlayStation their primary console, and helped them become a juggernaut.

That initial marketing spend earned them millions of players who now have a major incentive to stay in the Sony ecosystem (leave Sony, lose your Destiny account).

Save transfers would eliminate this incentive to stay, and potientially lose Sony active players as they choose new platforms for the next generation.

I even said in the other thread that leaked that this is a fuck up but again the hot takes about it is shitty when it's not known and I will always say it.
We know that Sony blocked crossplay and cross-save multiple times before, in the case of Fortnite even limiting your Epic account. Cry me a river, but people are totally right in blaming them before info is out, they deserve it.

Are we though. Not even the Cross play stuff has hurt sony in any way. They only budged because they noise got too loud.

Not from this action only. This sucks and does look bad, but unless Sony goes into full arrogant mode and starts making shitty-for-consumers decisions regularly, they will be ok. They have built up a lot of goodwill this generation and I love my PS4. So I really hope this cross save debacle is an exception not the new rule!

Of course, if the number of Destiny 2 players is huge on PS4, why left share save?
Business is business. Favor the PS +..

All this for a shitty game.

Cant believe so many fanboys defended or deflected this shit in the past. It hurts nobody but PS4 players. Not looking good for next gen.

This is where I'm at. I can point and laugh all I want because I was "smart" enough to make the obvious choice of starting my Destiny 2 progression on a non-Sony platform. Destiny 3's platform (mostly) agnosticism is going to be funny to see.

For god's sake.

What a great announcement for this game and Sony just have to put a damper on it all.

Fuck that. You marketed the PS version as the best one to have Sony. That isn't true if you balk at this. You're going to drive a typically very happy PS user into the arms of your competition. I need cross save for Destiny; it's the perfect game for it.

They are doing everything in their power to keep players on their platform at all costs.... yet they dont realize that these decisions they are making will actually drive people away.
