Its lonely at the top. Of course they'd wave this old ass childrens game around based on the current drama. Petty but expected.

I think people are reading into it too much. Sega were just joining in the fun, which I found kind of cool!

I agree with your last point though. Maybe not swapping of exclusives but a close partnership would be good.

PS if there is any comfort in it, Xbix seems to have become the de facto Dreamcast successor, with the amount of Sega games available via BC :)

About Sega:
When Peter Moore was in charge of Xbox, he seemingly believed in a Nintendo-MS future:

Back on topic: Minecraft play together should offer "exclusive " characters to each platform.

Windows Store should have a Microsoft Clippy, Xbox should have a little Halo, Nintendo a Mario, android an Android , Steam a Morgan Freeman, and iOS an iPhone with hands and arms and his face on the screen.

Now get this:
-all characters are FREE and can be obtained for free, however, you can only obtain them by inviting a person of that platform into your party, befriending them, and playing with them for 1 hour.

How cool would that be?

Sony fans really feeling the butt hurt over all these discussions lately. You guys are coming off really pathetic.

This version of Minecraft just came out this week on Switch so the timing fits for this trailer to come out.

So defensive. This is about the launch of the new update and the physical release for Switch. They were always gonna market it like this. The commercial was probably finished before E3.

Everyone knows the "hidden" jabs for the video. At a time when a competitor is being shoveled in shit about crossplay accounts. Couldn't have come at a better moment.

Lets not be obtuse at its purpose. It's smart marketing. What better way to keep the conversation going.

I'm not going to pretend that 2 of the lesser selling consoles care about anything else other than trying hurt the most popular console.

So yes, Dunkin and Billy are jealous of Zane that has all the fans and girls and they want to join Zane's Football team to get free access to all Zane's perks.

Zane ain't having that. Go to the fucking Gym and work on yourself.

Meh, this is kind of dumb and unneccesary, basically the normalized meme of the month.

And likely the average consumer doesn't a give a shit at the end of the day.

Advertisting a major feature in a new release of the game that was announced a year ago is "dumb and unnecessary" ?

The hell are you on about?

Yes the way Sony is handing is kind of dumb. Also if so few people really care about it, then why doesn't just allow cross play?

Lol. Oh man. I bet you were laughing your ass off at that game sharing commercial at the beginning of the gen though.

In fact, I can bet all the people bothered by this were.

If you're not talking about the features, the advertisement or the update.. What is the "whole thing" you're referring to?

How self-proclaimed hardcore gamers perceive this whole issue with Sony and crossplay, it's bad sure it is, the issue with Fortnite and id accounts being blocked is probably not getting the attention it deserves, but if anything it's clearly that at least currently the general consumer doesn't give a damn about it, otherwise we would be seeing a decline on Sony's lead which might or might not happen and even if it happened it might not be because of this.


Whatever lets you sleep at night buddy.

In general, people don't give a shit about things until it directly affects them even though it was in their best interests to do so the whole time.

Whatever. Let them do them, but it's just weird that there is only one device in my entire house which doesn't work well with others.. just the same as when everyone gave it to MS when they weren't onboard with crossplay, eventually people are going to realize it's an awful stance for Sony as well that doesn't benefit them in any way.
