FFXIV/WOW cross over event?

[Reynhart]

I addressed that already; but sure, Let's put it on repeat. FFXIV has a playerbase that doesn't have access to WoW.

You realize that most of the playerbase, even the PS4 playerbase, probably has a PC alongside their PS4 ? The fact that they chose to play on their PS4 is irrelevant.

And said player-base iirc holds a considerable margin percentage and thus, is a market that Blizzard can't profit from with a WoW collaboration.

Would you assume that a "considerable margin of PS4" don't own a PC ? Would you assume they didn't have a 3DS for the Yokai Watch event ? Or a PS3 for the FFXIII's event ? Or a TV for the Garo collaboration ? And what do you make of Monster Hunter World playerbase that can't play FFXIV on their XOne ?

It's interesting people insist in throwing arguments with game examples that are one-time purchases with a limited number of DLC.

Funny since you were the one using versus fighting games as an example...

They are iconic franchises in gaming history and while Tekken 7 has sold more than SFV, Tekken isn't yet as iconic as the two.

Tekken has sold more than Mortal Kombat as a whole, and was the most iconic franchise on Sony systems since the PS1. In fact, the franchise also outsold Street Fighter, so it's far from an underdog.

I am chastised over an assumption but then I get a tirade of questions trying to dismiss one. Even more so when you are making an assumtion that PS4 players "probably" have a PC but ok, mate. Throw the barrage.

Naw, I addressed the same example someone else used for crossover games, but yeah. Totally my bad. And I am aware of the sales Tekken has achieved and know what it represents, but its still not iconic in pop culture.

You get a tirade of questions that show that no past event actually cared if the playerbase actually owned the "other" system. So, even if your assumption was true (Which is pretty doubtful since we're talking about a PC), it has no reason to even matter in the decision.

And I didn't even mention the FF XIV x FF XI event, that put together two games with the same business model, with the second one only playable on PC.
