Why no Xbox?

[ReplicaX]

You did read my older post in which i acknowledge that in my opinion ff14 is a different case and Microsoft is at fault here?

Then there is no need to even use Rocket League as an example.

The perfect example has and always will be XI. XIV needs exactly what XI got for exceptions to actually benefit a consumer to utilize a MS console. Otherwise, their direct competitor is the obvious choice.

The other comments were for the situation in rocket league and other games.

Yet MS ignored the Rocket League Devs through the majority of their development cycle about cross-platform. Just like the article you posted poorly reflects the current situation with PS4 <> XBone. So I will again let the Rocket League Devs speak for themselves:

As of March 2017, Psyonix is ready to enable this feature, but was still waiting for the console manufacturers to come to the required agreements to allow it.

I didn't use rocket league as an example for the FF14 situations. I used it to proof the situation isn't black and white and post like this are proven wrong by facts.

Ridiculous. Everyone knows it's Microsoft holding the red tape up. Not Sony.

It all depends on the game and blame has to be given either sony, microsoft or both on a case by case basis. Maybe i should have made this more clear in the beginning. This was my answer to the post with the "red tape up" comment.

This is wrong according to the rocket league dev: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ro.../1100-6442025/ (at least for their game). FF14 could be a totally different matter.

And this one shortly after with this sentences

Now FF14 is an different matters and i do believe this is on microsoft, cause they don't want to bend their others rules for MMO imo. But in general, microsoft is more open to cross play between consoles then sony it seems. independend devs have no reason to lie here

No example is "perfect" in my opinion, because the decisions are usually made on an case by case base and many, many factors play a role here. Who leads the team? What situation are the plattform holders in? Does it make business sense for them? Just as three big example. I used this example early, but FF11 was on PC, PS2 and Xbox 360 and FF14 doesn't allow cross play between an Xbox and PS system. We can only speculate why this changed or why FF11 was even allowed to be such an good example for how gaming should be imo. Or in short, never trust in the past. Especially talking about business.
